Question:

can you use the furrion camera system when camper is disconnected from truck wiring system? It looks like the monitor can be used inside the camper for use while camping.

You absolutely can use the Furrion Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras # FCE48TASL-05 while you're camping! Just make sure that you have your cameras hooked up to a power source that can be utilized when you are disconnected from the truck as most pre-wired camera systems are tied into the reverse lights.

You can also add another camera with part # FCN48TASF if you'd like to add one over your door or another spot on your camper for more viewing angles.

I want to use my monitor in my camper with the wire from the cigarette plug that came with it plugged into the monitor and the camera like you do when you pair it before installation. I plan to use a 110v to 12v adapter with a cigarette lighter socket on it. What amperage output does the adapter need to have?

The adapter only needs to have a few amps and will depend on the distance of the power wire for the camera. The only power specs the manufacturer gives are for the monitor: LCD Power Off <30mA@12VLCD Backlight ON <500mA@12VLCD Backlight OFF <300mA@12VLCD

Question: I just purchased a Furrion camera system but have not installed it yet. I want to know on the "view all " option, how long will the monitor show the different camera views on the monitor. Does it revert back to a single camera after a set time? If so how can I view both sides and rear as I'm driving down the road?

As long as you have the monitor set to this multi-view, it should stay in this configuration.

My Travel Trailer is prewired for the Voyager. I like the side marker lights/cameras that the Furrion kit has. Is it possible to use the Furrion instead of Voyager?

You can definitely use the Furrion in place of the Voyager, but this will require you to hardwire the camera system instead of just utilizing the plug and play-type connections that came with your trailer.
