Wireless camera system

Duane Kunze:
I’m going to play with it and see if I can change a setting to make it stay on going down the road.
Thanks again for your response

I installed this system 5 years ago and have been happy with it .
It is however a hard wired system which I prefer as the wireless units are suspectable to drop out or interfere at that distance I wired it using the existing wiring in the roof.and added the front corner cameras wiring then under the front cap.
I took out the original rear view camera from its housing and installed the new one in its water proof housing putting it back in its original position in the rear cap this shows the tow vehicle very well but not a rear view so I traded out the other straight camera for another side view camera and mounted it on the back of the roof looking straight back as a rear view mirror .
When driving down the road all four cameras show on the monitor screen.
When either turn signal is turned on that side camera takes over the whole screen giving you a look down the side of the coach covering your blind spots.
When placed in reverse one of the rear cameras turns on to give you a backup camera.

If you go this route you may want to consider installing a DVR (digital video recorder) to use the system as a dash cam for insurance reasons

If you pull the monitor out of the dash you will find there's a plug harness on the back with several wires going into it one of those wires will be the reverse trigger wire basically connected to the backup lights using a test light identify which wire it is remember it will only be hot when the engine is running in the vehicle is in reverse,  disconnect that wire and connect it to the ignition wire in the same plug and you should have a camera that's on all the time when the ignition is on

Hope this helps

Back in 2016 I bought a system from Tadi Brothers out of California that served me well.  They have all types of wireless and wired camera solutions.

I installed a Haloview BT7 a couple of year ago. The rear (and side) camera are easy install as you just replace an existing marker light to tap into power.  I do need to keep marker lights on while driving (no big deal). It gives a great wide angle view looking back but you could point it down more toward your hitch. I have both the original camera pointing down at the hitch/toad and now the Haloview. I also installed the 2 side cameras but to be honest I mostly use the rear camera when on the road and only use the side cameras backing or tight corners.  Mirrors are just better for me. You can select many different views (all 3, any single, cycle thru, etc). Also has good audio. With all 3 cameras on there is a slight lag at times that I don't notice with single rear camera on (1080p with 40ft reach on my RV).
