Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Do you think this is a good back-up camera for my 5ver?
Permalink  

I have looked and looked and read and read and now I am just plain confused on what back up camera I
should get for our 5ver....  There are SO MANY choices!

 

I don't want to spend thousands of dollars, I see this unit from Rear View Safety has some good reviews.

 

Is there anyone who has a back up system that can give me a recomendation of a decent system priced

$300 or less?

 

Thanks for any input.

I have this system: rear view camera which looks pretty much the same. 

I did add an additional camera so I have one on the back of the HDT and one on the back of the 5er.  I went with the wired system due to reported problems I read about with the wireless ones on longer RVs. I have had my system for 4 years now so maybe the wireless ones have improved since then?

I can't help you there as I am looking myself. When help arrives and you make a decision, let us know as I'm definitely interested. Hugs, Di

Phil, I looked at that unit, is 32ft. of coax enough to go from the rear of the fiver to the cab? Did you have to

purchase any other accessories?

 I ordered an additional 50' cable along with the 32' one that comes standard with the camera. This gave me enough coax to run from the rear of the 5er to the front using the 50 and then I ran the other one from the rear of the truck to the monitor in the cab.

Thanks Phil for all the help.

I just purchased this Rear View Safety Model with Quick Connect as I really like the quick connect option

for my 5ver.  Looks like a good unit (I hope).
