bags Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I need a new rear camera and would like to add a hitch camera while I am at it. The system I am looking at is Haloview RD7 https://www.haloview.com/haloview-7-inch-wireless-range-dominator-system.html. I have shyed away from wireless before because of the dropped signal issue but it looks like they may have the problem solved by putting a repeater on the front end of the rv. This product has great reviews so I am looking at it. Does anyone have any experience with this system or another wireless system that work well? Thanks for al the input and stay safe.

spindrift Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm in the market for one as well since we're going to start double towing. Will be watching this thread.

rdickinson Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Re wireless cameras, a few years ago they were not thought adequate for longer rigs. They may have had boosters antennae's but even then I recall they were not recommended. This is going back at least 5-7 yrs...things change. Hardwiring in a system would be a royal pain, running wires the full length under or on top of the roof, down the vent pipe in the shower or laundry then fishing it thru under the reach area. I've done a fair bit of that...not something I want to try again. Anyway go onto UTube and look up Ray on 'Love your RV', He has an older one and was provided with a new one. He did a pretty good review on the new one which is smaller than the old one. With the repeater the range was hundreds of feet, I think and the pic was 100%. I may go up and visit him next week for a shakedown run after all the upgrades and mods done to the rig. The camera system is something I'd be looking at. Contact him, he knows his stuff electrically and will respond. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindrift Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I just went to Amazon where this unit can be purchased for $250. Sounds too good to be true. What am I missing?

Jack Mayer Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Let me know if that system is reliable in use. I've used literally dozens of wireless over the years and none of them were reliable on our rigs. For a combination of reasons, including the metal back walls we have on our trucks, and the smart cars/toys we carry (big chunks of metal). We have a very, very different usage environment than pickups and motorhomes. I'm always looking for a reliable wireless solution. Just have not found one yet.

rdickinson Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 He's only 160 miles from me. I may take the rig up there and see if we can jury rig something together to test in my rig. I'm hoping technology has improved since the last go-round on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the distance to the truck cab. So... In your video there was a small loop of cable left to the repeater, how much further would this stretch out?

DesertMiner Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Not my video but the cable is advertised at 39 feet from the camera to the “antenna box”. https://www.haloview.com/haloview-7-720p-wireless-range-dominator-system-rd7-max.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
