FURRION OBSERVATION CAMERA INSTALL

Through Furrion observation camera troubleshooting sites, the camera’s power comes from your taillights. The wiring connects to the brake and taillight wires on the coach. If we were attaching the brackets ourselves, the instructions are easy to follow. The bracket also has the various wires pre-wired to the bracket as well. When we looked through the Furrion Vision S manual, much of it we didn’t need since we were using the preinstalled bracket. Putting the camera in and installing the monitor side only took a couple of hours. My adult nephew is the handyman master, so that’s why I had my wife guilt him into coming by to help me. When it comes to do-it-yourself projects, I’m decent, but not a master. I found out how valuable that was on our first camping trip when I had to back in. Green being further away, and red being right behind me. I also like the guidelines the camera gives, to give me perspective on where everything is in relation to where I am.

Other units become unreliable with longer trailers. Other cameras give you a shorter view angle, so you can’t see the full scope of what’s behind you. I can see the traffic behind me and to either side due to the angle of the camera. Of the different versions, I decided on the Furrion Vision S 5 because of the screen size and the many capabilities the camera has. After the great reviews I read, and the fact that most of the RV industry uses the Furrion pre-wire, I chose to stay with that brand. Some even come with adapters to the Furrion pre-installed bracket. Even though I trusted Grand Design, I wanted to make sure Furrion was the right choice. I also wanted to make the project as simple as possible. When I did my research, I found that Furrion had great reviews.

They could install one for me, but for the cost of them doing it, I could do it myself, and buy a few tanks of gas for our first vacation. When I asked about getting a backup camera, the dealer told me that the trailer comes pre-wired. My wife and I bought a Grand Design Imagine 3100RD.
