Question:

Can I buy a larger antenna to improve signal? My phone signal cuts out while driving. I am about 46foot from camera to my phone while driving. Thanks.

You are going to need to switch to a system like the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS05TASF since the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR has a maximum range of 50' due to the signal type. This cannot be improved with a larger antenna. The Furrion system has a range of 492' so you are not going to have signal drop issues like you currently experience. And with the dedicated monitor you can leave the camera on at all times while you drive without draining your phone.
