I use my RD10 on my Lance TT without the long cable...but we are looking to get a GD reflection 295rl and will need to use the 39ft cable it came with...
I nearly screamed when my husband and Laurence said at the same time... Ah the trailer isn't connected! Nice product to consider as our trailer didn't come with one installed.
Wow! cool option! It doesn't seem to have too much problems with the reflection while in camera mode. A permanent solution to the roof installation is to use LAP to hold down the wire or maybe LAP tape which maybe less permanent. I really like the idea of that mirror solution since it reduces the amount of screens you have in the cockpit of the truck! I wish they had a retrofit light solution like Furrion Markerlight Camera where you take off your center red clearance light in the rear, mount the markerlight camera that is affixed to the marker light housing and there is no need to drill new holes for mounting or tap into wires to wire in the camera. That set-up is brilliant. Combine that rear set-up for us retrofitters with the mirror concept and you have a winner! Thank's for showcasing this - really looks good!
Hi Andrew. We actually wanted that too, but it’s either the mirror and 1 can, or the big screen and lots of cams. It was a hard decision, but we ultimately think that the RD10 is best for us. The reflection seems to look a lot worse on camera than in real life, we didn’t notice any problems in real life
One more thing we will be adding to the cab of the F350... wish they had a way to put side cameras on the rear view mirror. I'd give up the front camera to get the sides.
I can confirm that I did not. I was on my way to it when I noticed the trailer wasn’t plugged into the truck which meant the trailer (and camera) were not getting power 😁
Remind me never to stand behind your RV is it is only 720P. I do have one question. So when you run something over. Like grandma walking home from your house Christmas eve "because you do not what ever we all know the song" she will look good because the footage of you running her over with be in 1080P! Got it and thank you Haloview well done!
Great video! I like how you showed to set it up. It looks nice. Glad it worked. It looks like rear view mirror. I didn’t know you had a camera stolen that’s sad. How could somebody cone along and do that? Sorry they did that. Thank you for the video looking forward to seeing next video. See you both soon! Stay safe.
Hi Sherri 👋 yup, they broke into out truck while we were at the Houston Rodeo. Stole the Furrion screen and a bunch of camera equipment, including an SD with our wedding on it (we have copies!). The camera is really great. Much better then we thought it would be
@@BrazenBrits That’s really sad that people can take something like that with someone else’s wedding on it. That’s sad.Someone who was moving out here to Vegas they had a camper and they their belongings in it and they had their mother and fathers Urns stolen. Now why would and what would they want with Urns that had ashes in it. To me that is crazy. I’m so glad that knew camera works. Looking forward to next video with the camera to see it working.
That looks like an awesome bit of kit! To wire it in, get a fuse splitter cable and pick a switched fuse, that’s what I did with my dashcam, and it has the same power connector as yours. Also, loved Nat’s secret cameo at the start! 🤣🤣🤣
Nat said afterwards that she thought the camera was pointing a different way 🤣🤣 I’ll eventually probably wire it up to the upfitter switch on the ceiling. That’s how I did my last one, but it’s a horrible job as the wires are under the dash on the passenger side
Had mine for about 9 months. Love it and would buy it again. I had to put a black shade in the back window of the truck because the reflection off the white camper dulled the picture when driving toward the sun when driving. Black felt at Walmart cheep. Hard to see emergency lights in the picture. They do not catch my attention like the reflection in a mirror. Having it on the rearview mirror is just a more natural glance than looking at something on the dashboard. Love you guys! Different perspective sometimes from us Americans.
Thanks Michael! Good points on the reflections, they certainly take some getting used to, but maybe we’ll just grab some black felt like you mentioned. Sounds like an inexpensive fix!
@@BrazenBrits The double sided sticky tape keeps melting away and things are sliding. Probably need to make it similar to a curtain rod. Still working on an idea. I am sure someone has worked this out. Still love the unit.
Isn't "...this was too easy.." usually a preface to starting over? 😉 The system looks awesome - I will have to take a look! Natalie, it would have been way too easy to sneak up on Laurence while he was recording...
You’re right. Usually, right when I say “this is too easy”, everything goes wrong. I can tell by the sneaky smile on her face she was planning to do exactly that 🤣
i have the furrion and very disappointed with it, definitely gonna check out this beauty..maybe we should start a go-fund me page so the waggs and can get one too, might help with backing....just saying :P
Looks like a great addition to your set up. Thanks for sharing and make sure you do a follow up once you have taken it on some trips! 👍 What trips do you have planned?
Yup, we sure will. But I’m pretty confident that I love it already. We are hoping to do a live feed soon to chat about what’s been going on off camera and what’s coming up 👍
This is awesome! I wonder if you could pair the side view cameras to the mirror too. That'd be pretty sweet. Awesome video! You need to do more of these 😉
I’ll get round to reading the manual sometime and answer that question 😁 We’re going to try and do more how-to’s and informational stuff. We’re just not very good at it 🤣🤣
The front facing camera is extremely nice in the event that someone pulls out in front of you and you have an accident, it could save you a ticket. I looked at several of their camera systems when choosing one for my motorhome, I wish I'd known that theirs record. I'm happy with what I bought for the most part, but the customer service side of the company I went with is horrendous.
We actually already have a dashcam, so didn’t need the front camera. Not sure if I’ll sell the old one or maybe relocate it. Maybe point it out back of the truck for when we aren’t using the trailer. What did you go with in the end?
Just bought the rd7 and the side cameras and was so bummed when I saw this video because of how great it is. But also relieved because it doesn't support 3 cameras lol
oh no! Will they let you return them? That's a good point with the side cameras. I have never used side cameras, so didn't actually think of that when I did this review.
Great video! Just used your affiliate link and ordered mine, very to happy to have found this! The furion has been on my amazon wish list for months and just couldn't get excited about buying it because of the price and the poor options for screen mounting. Really excited to get this! This is the first one of your videos I have seen, where do you live? I'm also a Brit living in the US, I live in the Daytona Beach area Florida
Hey Bruce! Sorry for the delay in replying, we got lost watching your wheelie videos. We used to have bikes in the UK, but haven't had one since we moved to the US (Although we actually still own one back in the UK). We are in Citrus County. I think it's about 2hrs directly west of you. We were doing a fulltime RV living tour of the US until covid hit and we did publish a video of our time at Daytona Beach. We LOVED it there! We really like the RD10. There no big screen taking up dash space and you don't need to keep taking it out or putting it away. When we travel, we were move around a lot, so having to keep remembering to hide it and bring it back out became very annoying. The RD10 we don't have to worry about it. Thank you for using the link, we really appreciate it!
It’s wireless. The camera is at the back of the trailer, then the long cable attaches to a wireless antenna unit, then that unit talks wirelessly to the screen in the car. If our trailer was only small, I wouldn’t need the wire and antenna, but it’s a long trailer, so the signal doesn’t reach
The biggest limitation with this one is the fact you can only pair it to a single wireless backup camera at a time. For most of us with trucks that tow, it would be a huge benefit to have one wireless camera on the truck cap and one on the back of the trailer so you could get use out of the rear view mirror that is blocked in both cases. Tadi Brothers looks to have solved this…
Hi WJ, if you could wire the camera to a constant 12v supply, there’s no reason why you couldn’t do that. Alternatively, we guess that you could also jump the 7pin connector to keep the marker lights on where the camera pulls it’s power and take the screen into the trailer. I wonder if that would work? Might try it. Could be an interesting video 👍
I didn’t see this version available when I ordered mine and picked up the rd7r and found the mirror mounting bracket on Amazon (last one!) I was hoping for a bigger screen with a 4 camera observation system
This camera system looks awesome! How did you attach the wireless antenna unit to the roof of the RV? I am paranoid about drilling holes in the roof! Thanks!
Hi Richard, we really like it. Visibility isn’t as good as a huge screen, but it’s worth it to us. The kit came with sticky pads for everything. They’ve been on nearly a year now and we’ve had no issues. No drilling at all
We had issues with our Furrion. Nothing major, but it wasn't a smooth video feed. Because of that, we are confident that this would need the antenna. However, it's a great suggestion and wouldn't be too difficult to test, so watch this space, it's on our list to do. thank you, great idea!
I've hesitated buying this for my camper van because it looks like the installed black box above the rear view mirror will prevent me from moving the mirror up enough to properly adjust it. Are you having that issue?
Nope, it kinda gets in the way, but it works fine in our F250. It might be an issue if you are taller and need to angle it high. If you email/Facebook/IG us, we’d be happy to send some pictures through of it from different angles if that would help?
I checked the HaloView website and could not find the answer to this question and was hoping that perhaps you may be able to answer it for me. How long is the DC12-32v cable that goes from the camera to the cigarette lighter? My husband is hoping it is long enough to maybe tuck it up under the headliner and around the dash to the cigarette lighter plug. Thanks!
Dont cut off the cigarette lighter plug Haloview says Power Supply DC 5V (Note: You have to use the provided cigarette lighter to step down the voltage from 12-32V to 5V.)
Hi Barry, interesting you say this as our contact at Haloview actually said the same thing. We have now installed the camera properly and we have used the cigarette lighter. I am looking at options on how I can hardwire this into one of the upfitter switches. The solution to that is to install another cigarette lighter outlet connected to the upfitter switch and hide it under the dash somewhere. Still looking into this.
@@BrazenBrits Yup that would be the fastest and easiest way for sure. I'm trying to order the MC10 for my motor home but they seem to be put of stock for now. Wrote them a email 4 days ago, They did not respond. I bought the same RD10 for my son in law works great good luck with yours.
We haven’t seen any before or after filming this, but keep checking their site. It’s a great system 👍: czcams.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblFLbUF3Y1lLS196aEJjYTdrSlVQblc2TGpUQXxBQ3Jtc0tsbVRETUoxLTUzZjloSFJ6ZmFud2JrZWdZTmU4SlZkc3dRWmxWOHA4dzJLTXVhbTNmal9lRjRPMVREYWJKSmV2SVdKc2ZycXVySnlOUm90ZTlsdUFfcktHM1JxZ3gyWlN6SllLUXVUejlNOVA3WXg0UQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.haloview.com%2Fhaloview-wireless-rearview-observation-mirror-dashcam-rd10.html%3Facc%3D599
We tried it without the antenna extender and it was not great signal. It worked, but was choppy and delayed. The extender works really well for seamless video transmission.
Hi Craig, sorry for the late reply. There is restricted stock due to high demand and component manufacturing delays. Please try this link….. it shows as ‘in stock for us’: www.haloview.com/haloview-wireless-rearview-observation-mirror-dashcam-rd10.html?acc=599
Hi JTP, the cord running from the back of the rig (From the camera) to the front of the rig is the antenna extender. We have a 37" Travel Trailer, so instead of the camera having to transmit the image from right at the back of the trailer to the screen, this allows the extender to transmit it from the front of the rig. Essentially, bringing the transmitter closer to the screen by 37'. This helps with any image delay and cutting out.
@@BrazenBrits thanks for the info. Did you just tape down that extension to the roof? Is it holding? What did you use? Anything you don’t like about the camera? Lastly any tips? Thanks so much appreciate it.
Interesting. We have used it at night, but didn’t notice too much of a problem. Is the glare from the headlights of cars behind in the camera? Or glare from the mirror? We have our camera pointed down as we use it mainly to watch the tail swing and when reversing up to an object
@@rightlanebandit9844 Agreed, it's pretty useless for me at night. The headlight glare washes out everything. No one in any of these videos seems to test it at night.
That was my very question if used as a dashcam at night. Can the display be turned off or very very low brightness setting but still record? Manufacturer claims it's able to transmit 80'. My RV is 40', plus truck. So I wouldn't have to extend the antenna much if at all? T.Y.
@@bigearn8782 The forward facing camera doesn't wash out like the rear one does. The forward cam doesn't have the IR lighting like the rear. There is an auto-dim feature for the display that I find useful so that it's not so bright at night.
We have been using it for over a year. What issues are you having with it? Would also be interested if you have had issues with it, what you replaced it with?
They advertise 1080, except it doesn't record in 1080 if you have all 4 cameras recording, the actual recording is more like 480. It WILL Not loop record, the memory card has to be reformatted to be able to record over it, which means you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when it stops recording wile you're driving. This thing is ONLY good for a backup camera (not recording) and thats it. You email their customer service about it and they want your order number the date and time you ordered it and your name before they can even answer simple questions. I told them it was not recording and they actually wanted me to send them video of it NOT recording.......how exactly do you do that? I will probably replace it with eagle eye, it's an actual DVR system and not just a glorified dash camera
NOTE: After filming, we noticed that the front camera actually slides out to the side so it’s not blocked by the original mirror. GENIUS!!!!!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing 👍
I knew it but I wanted you to do do the awkwardness lmao 😂

@@BrazenBrits 💯 definitely nice to keep an eye on hitch mounted items or a tag ect
Looks a nice bit of kit, but can't believe you had to get the manual out LOL or did you😉

Did you know you can slide that front camera out further so you can align the rear view mirror better.
Never mind I just read your note. I figured you must have eventually
Yes, took us much longer than it should have 🤣🤣

It’s wireless. The camera is at the back of the trailer, then the long cable attaches to a wireless antenna unit, then that unit talks wirelessly to the screen in the car. If our trailer was only small, I wouldn’t need the wire and antenna, but it’s a long trailer, so the signal doesn’t reach

That’s true and a great idea. Hopefully they will evolve the system to include this

Hi WJ, if you could wire the camera to a constant 12v supply, there’s no reason why you couldn’t do that.

We are looking at this instead of furriin. We're there any discounts available?
We haven’t seen any before or after filming this, but keep checking their site. It’s a great system 👍:

WIRE WAY TOO LONG FOR ANTENNA. THEY HAVE ONES WITH A SMALL ANTENNA ON CAMERA AND REACHES 320FT.
We tried it without the antenna extender and it was not great signal. It worked, but was choppy and delayed. The extender works really well for seamless video transmission.
i guess it depends on how much you spend.@@BrazenBrits
Can it be programmed for garage doors?
I don’t believe it can. However it just sits in front of your normal mirror, so you would still have access to the garage door buttons
Also why don't men ever read the manual first? 🤷🏻♀️😂
No need! We know how it works already. Just too busy to have already invented it - Laurence
I've never seen a woman read a manual either. Just saying.
Can't find them for sale on eBay, Amazon or their site???
I just checked the link we listed in the video description and they are reporting as ‘in stock’. Could you try it again and let us know 👍
@@BrazenBrits Out of stock when you look at their products pagewww.haloview.com/products.html
Hi Craig, sorry for the late reply. There is restricted stock due to high demand and component manufacturing delays. Please try this link….. it shows as ‘in stock for us’: www.haloview.com/haloview-wireless-rearview-observation-mirror-dashcam-rd10.html?acc=599
So on that install the cord you ran to the front where did it go to?
Hi JTP, the cord running from the back of the rig (From the camera) to the front of the rig is the antenna extender. We have a 37" Travel Trailer, so instead of the camera having to transmit the image from right at the back of the trailer to the screen, this allows the extender to transmit it from the front of the rig. Essentially, bringing the transmitter closer to the screen by 37'. This helps with any image delay and cutting out.
@@BrazenBrits thanks for the info. Did you just tape down that extension to the roof? Is it holding? What did you use? Anything you don’t like about the camera? Lastly any tips? Thanks so much appreciate it.
It actually comes with sticky pads and zip ties. I wasn’t convinced they would hold, but they have worked perfectly 👍
The only thing I don’t like is that the view is slightly zoomed in to fit the wide screen. But I just use it split screen which works perfectly
@@BrazenBrits also was wondering did you figure out a way to hardwire it so the cig adapter can be removed for the power source?
Test it at night. The glare makes tis thing useless
Interesting. We have used it at night, but didn’t notice too much of a problem. Is the glare from the headlights of cars behind in the camera? Or glare from the mirror? We have our camera pointed down as we use it mainly to watch the tail swing and when reversing up to an object
@@BrazenBrits cars behind me the infrared kicks in they need an off switch for it
@@rightlanebandit9844 Agreed, it's pretty useless for me at night. The headlight glare washes out everything. No one in any of these videos seems to test it at night.
That was my very question if used as a dashcam at night.
Can the display be turned off or very very low brightness setting but still record?
Manufacturer claims it's able to transmit 80'. My RV is 40', plus truck. So I wouldn't have to extend the antenna much if at all?
T.Y.
@@bigearn8782 The forward facing camera doesn't wash out like the rear one does. The forward cam doesn't have the IR lighting like the rear. There is an auto-dim feature for the display that I find useful so that it's not so bright at night.
The camera system is total trash, don't waste your money.
We have been using it for over a year. What issues are you having with it? Would also be interested if you have had issues with it, what you replaced it with?
They advertise 1080, except it doesn't record in 1080 if you have all 4 cameras recording, the actual recording is more like 480.
It WILL Not loop record, the memory card has to be reformatted to be able to record over it, which means you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when it stops recording wile you're driving.
This thing is ONLY good for a backup camera (not recording) and thats it.
You email their customer service about it and they want your order number the date and time you ordered it and your name before they can even answer simple questions.
I told them it was not recording and they actually wanted me to send them video of it NOT recording.......how exactly do you do that?
I will probably replace it with eagle eye, it's an actual DVR system and not just a glorified dash camera
