We're gonna take a look at the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System, with the trailer tow quick connect kit. Now this backup camera system is perfect for fifth wheel applications. It starts with this seven inch digital TFT LCD color monitor. Has a nice super sharp digital display, a very thin monitor. Has an 800 by 480 pixel resolution. When you do turn it on it does give you distance grid lines, which are optional.
You can turn them off, or turn them on, whichever you prefer. Does have mirror image capability, also uses built in speakers, has auto dimming. The buttons on the front here to operate it are back lit so they will illuminate in the dark. Comes with this nice wireless remote to control it also. And I've had it installed on this monitor mount.
It's a flexible monitor mount that you can put in any position, and if you do use it, on the very bottom they do have a double stick tape that will adhere it to many different surfaces. This also comes with the color CCD back up camera. This is a 130 degree viewing angle. Comes with 18 infrared lights in it for 50 feet of infrared night vision. It does meet the IP69K rating, which means it's shock resistant, keeps out any dirt and moisture, and it does meet the 20G impact rating. Now it comes with all the brackets you need, all the hardware, a nice set of detailed instructions and description of how to operate everything.
Then it comes with the trailer tow quick kit connect and disconnect kit. Basically what that is, that includes the 26 foot truck side cable right here. Over here, oops, over here I mean, this 66 foot trailer side cable, and then over here is the 12 foot quick connect coil cable. That should do it for the review on the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with the trailer tow quick connect kit.

I installed this in an F150 and 19ft trailer combination. The install went reasonably easily, after I had worked out how to route the wiring.
In general the item works ok but my main issue is how difficult it is to navigate the software that controls the image. It appears that the brightness setting is set too low out of the box, so in bright conditions (when the sun is out), it is not easy to see what is on the screen. Trying to adjust brightness has been almost impossible. The remote is not always making a connection with the unit and there appears to be no way to make adjustments without the remote. Do you have contact info for the manufacturer, or perhaps you've had previous feedback about this? Thanks.
I installed a backup camera on my 40' 5th wheel travel trailer. LOVE it! Dialed in the guidelines, flipped the image to mirror view and can nail the tight parking spaces like a professional. Lets me keep an eye on the bikes on the bike rack too. The night vision feature is great. The microphone/speaker works well when I need a real person spotting (which is almost never now). Now my wife can just talk to me, no more yelling. Installation wasn't too difficult as the cable fit behind the weather strip along the corners of the coach. If you want to know what's in the blind spot behind you, good choice here. And the monitor has 2 more video connections to use too. Might add a hookup camera next. Anyway, buy it.
I have a pull behind camper and I like to see what is behind the camper as I go down the road. The camera is wired to an AUX switch so I can have it on when I need it. The camera is also great for backing the camper. The monitor is mounted to a block of wood to fit in two of the four cup holders so I can store it when not in use, out of sight.
Best price on web and order came sooner then expected with great tracking. System is very substantial and well made, better then expected. Easy install on a TT with Subaru Outback. Picture very clear with many easy controls on monitor. I highly recommend etrailer and this product.

Still perfect after 1year!
This is an excellent rear view camera system. Because it is wired and not wireless, it is more work to install, requiring running wires the length of both the trailer and tow vehicle, including wiring into the tow vehicle's cab and power supply, and setting up a semi-permanent/removeable mount for the video display. However, there is no need to find a power supply at the trailer. The display itself is excellent, both daytime and at night and the optional distance bars on the display are very useful, both in parking the trailer and monitoring the blind spot when on the road. Having a microphone in the camera that provides sounds from the video display is a nice touch and quite handy when parking. The instructions are excellent, although there is one instruction left out that explains how the sound volume is controlled; obviously, the sound should be turned off when on the road. Overall an excellent system and highly recommended.
Excellent product. The installation instructions are in need of improvement. The manual is not spot on with monitor operation and a pig tail was included that had no mention in the instructions as to it's use. Install time is not short nor is it an easy job. I went with a hard wired system because the issues you may get with wireless become mute with this unit. I honestly can say that if wireless backup cameras get where they come close to a wired system I would go that route because the install is so much easier. All in all RVS has good products, service and the availability of parts and accessories if needed. This system is installed on a 21 foot + travel trailer pulled by a 1500 Ram.
I installed this product on my motor home to help with the problem of hooking up to a trailer, and seeing what is directly behind the vehicle. Works great! The speaker connection works great for communication between the driver and person helping to get hooked up to the trailer. I also hooked it up to power on with the key so I can keep an eye on what is on the trailer, loose straps, something moving, etc. I highly recommend this product for those that use a trailer behind a bigger vehicle that you can't see out of the mirrors. Has enough cable to do a semi trailer if needed. Installation was very straightforward and easy. Just plug and play for most of it.
Install is the only drawback on this system. Picture is clear and best of all always connected and no more blue screens! Will be switching out all my other systems to this one as soon as possible!
This system is great. A real stress reliever being able to see what is behind you. Lane changing & on ramps were a white knuckle ordeal on our road trips from Northern CA. to San Antonio TX. The truck & trailer we take was a beast to drive. Now it's a piece of cake. A LOT less stress. I highly recommend it.
Good clear view with an exceptional wide angle, so much better than mirrors. A bit time consuming to install cleanly but worth the price in time and money. Would recommend this to others.
GREAT JOB

Hi Peter! We do have their contact information and I went ahead and reached out to them. Here is what they said. The monitor has menu settings that can be accessed via the menu button on the monitor. The menu can be difficult to navigate as the menu button is also the OK button. i.e. Hit Menu, use up/down arrows to go to the setting, click Menu and then use the up/down arrows to change Brightness/Saturation/Contrast etc, then hit the menu button again to confirm changes. Another thing you can try is to adjust the cameras sunshade. When extra light hits the IRs it can dull the camera image and can take some adjusting to position the camera and its sunshade for optimum clarity. If you cannot access the Menu via the monitor, then we do suggest a replacement as those buttons should always be working.
