    Sparky - check out post #4 and $6 for some of the parts. Not sure about what p/n for the side cameras but I'll bet Amazon will show a link.

    I bought the three camera bundle on Amazon. It had the adapter cables for the Furrion included. Only thing I bought extra was the rear view mirror mount to use rather than dash mount.

    I bought the camera direct from Haloview. It's $30 cheaper than Amazon and there is free shipping and no tax. Got the rear view mirror mount for $8.99 directly from the site also. $348.98 total to my door on DHL.

    Before you know it, you'll need a front camera with monitor to see past all the obstructions mounted in your field of view.

    Got the camera installed. Seems like really nice, solid equipment. Would have been totally plug and play to the Furrion prep if GD had not wired the trailer for constant power on that plug instead of on the marker light circuit. Easy enough fix to tap into the marker light right below the camera but still a bit frustrating. Had to mod the mirror mount a bit. The velcro straps were way too long for my plain Jane mirror on my Ram Tradesman dually. Bought some replacement velcro strapping from Amazon. All good now. Love the camera.

    We ordered the Haloview BT7 in December. If you are using the side cameras with the trigger wire, there is a flaw with this system. When the blinker is used the camera will go to the appropriate side camera. However, if the brake is applied the monitor goes blank and the system does not know which camera to go back to. There is a video from a gentleman who stated he corrected this issue by installing a Curtis Converter box. We did this and after installing two of them because the box would buzz when the brakes were applied, I called Curtis. They told me the box was not intended for this use and not to use. We were concerned that the box would heat up and potentially cause a fire. We just had a rv camera installation tech look at it and he is baffled why it doesn’t work. I bought this unit directly from the website ( China). The support has not been good. You can email them but no US phone number. When I asked them about this flaw I was told to install the converter box which the gentleman had said he was going to contact Haloview about his fix which isn’t really a fix. While we love the clarity while using the backup camera I am disappointed it does not work while using our blinkers. Have any of come across this issue?

    I did the same thing. Mine is to arrive tomorrow and I hope to install it this weekend. I also purchased the mirror mount and the extended rear camera antenna to ensure I have enough signal since I did not get the repeater. We'll see how it all works. I've heard nothing but good reports from those that have this setup.

We have the Lippert camera currently which is useless in my opinion. I've tested the AMTIFO and it has the best picture of any backup camera I've seen. But its footprint is smaller than the Lippert so I'm concerned with how I'm going to cover and seal the hole when I remove the Lippert.
    A quick word about "off brands" on Amazon. There are a LOT of Chinese sellers offering brands that don't actually exist. If you search Antifo you won't find a manufacturer website or any company info. Any "review" websites will point you back to the seller on Amazon, eBay etc. And if you look at seller info on Amazon you will see an address in China. I'm not saying everything sold from China is fake or bad, but there ARE many sellers that take a brand and either produce a knock-off or invent a brand name. Some of them are kind of hilarious actually. They don't speak English, so they input random letters from the alphabet and come up with a made up word - like ANTIFO. I hope the camera works well for you, just be aware that the seller will disappear from Amazon eventually and you won't have a manufacturer to contact for parts or service.
    If you've never heard of a brand, Google it to make sure they exist. I learned the hard way.
