Rear View Camera

My Montana has a Furrion FOS7TASF Wireless Vehicle Observation System with cameras on each side and rear while towing. However, the display is not in color with has low clarity. Has anyone replaced or installed a Furrion Pre-Wired compatible camera and/or display https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Blue.../dp/B07HC1KBT8 ($123) for color, improved clarity and simultaneous camera viewing?

I replaced mine with a VisionWorks camera and HD monitor.
I think the problem with most of these systems is the distance between the camera's antenna and the monitor antenna. My distance is +50' and there is the big blob of fiberglass and wood in between the camera and the monitor called and RV that blocks the signal when in motion. I was always loosing signal with both the OEM Furrion and my new system. VisionWorks sent me a 25' long extension cable and a new roof top peel-n-stick antenna - which shortens the broadcast distance significantly. Unfortunately DW has had some health issues and we have not been out since last December - so I have not been able to test the new setup. I think all of these new cameras and HD monitors are great. You should read and try to find one that will not loose signal due to distance between your camera and the monitor in the cab.

I use an older version of that camera/monitor and it works quite well. However, if you also want the side cameras you'll need something different. I've also heard good things about Haloview and they have a combo system that reviews well.

I have the 3 camera 7" viewer Furrion system. Mine is in color, but not at night. The night vision is black and white. If yours is not showing in color, you might contact Furrion about a warranty replacement.

I installed a Haloview system on my 2021, 3121RL and love it. Easy to install and use. Highly recommend the side view cameras.
