Will Furrion Vision S Camera Work on 2021 Winnebago Motorhome on Sprinter Chassis

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Winnebago View and want to put a camera in the back so I can constantly view my tow vehicle. I was looking at this camera. Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - 5 Screen - FOS05TASF but it says it sill not works on the newer Mercedes. If that's true would you recommend one that does.

Hi David, thanks for the question and there is actually a way for your 2021 Winnebago View motorhome to use the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System - 5" Screen # FOS05TASF.

To do so, all you need to do is add the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems - Hardwire # VGR64VR.

The issue with camera systems and motorhomes like yours on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis is that the wiring doesn't send the right amount of power to the camera, and what the filter does is ensure a steady current of voltage at the wiring to make sure the camera works.

I have added a link below to a video of this being installed on a Sprinter chassis so you can see how it's done.

Thank you for your response regarding a rear camera. I hav e one more question. Two or three years ago I had a Haloview model MC109 7" camera installed but the camera has never worked right only occasionally coming on. Do you know if that camera would also require the 12V PWM Filter you said I would need for the Fusion camera? I just need a camera that works! Thank you

@DavidK I do not know about the Haloview, I'm sorry to say. Also keep in mind the Furrion camera will only work with the Furrion monitor, and vice-versa.

@KyleS I have a Haloview camera and monitor but I rarely get a picture. I guess I just need to start over so I want to make sure I get the right camera and monitor this time. Is the Fusion FOS05TASF with the PWM Filter the best choice for my 2021 Sprinter or would you recommend something different? Is there a camera available that doesn't require a filter? I have the Mercedes navigation with rear camera but there's no way, that I'm aware of, to have the camera on while the vehicle is going forward. If there's a way to do that that's what I would really like!

@DK Yes, the Furrion # FOS05TASF and Filter # VGR64VR is the best choice, and there isn't actually option that won't require some it. And like you said, there isn't a way to go with the Mercedes camera and use your system (as nice as that would be).

Answer 1

2020 and newer GM trucks use pulse width modulation which won't send enough power to properly operate a Furrion RV camera system. To solve this Furrion came out with the #FR87PR which corrects the problem by looping over power from the 12v…

Answer 2

Hey David, you will only need to install one of the 12V PWM Filters item #VGR64VR if you do it upstream before the circuit branches off to the separate cameras. You do not need one at each camera. It's a bummer about the Furrion adapter you tried…

Answer 3

Hi Kelly; there isn't much to the filter so as long as you wired the #VGR64VR correctly with the red wire connecting to power I expect it to work. With that 30 second interval I would check the actual camera system. I'm not sure which one you…

Answer 5

The Replacement Furrion Monitor Power Cable #C-FOS07TAPK-006 powers the monitor. I believe you are looking for the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter #FR87PR that eliminates the PWM issue that causes the Furrion Vision S #FOS05TASF cameras not to get the…

Have you verified that the camera is getting powered at the rear of your trailer when the running lights are on? Is it possible the running light circuit isn't active due a blown fuse or maybe corrosion on the trailer wiring pins?

Answer 8

Yes, you will definitely need the PWM Filter #VGR64VR to properly power your Furrion Vision S RV Camera System #FOS43TASF. In 2020 GM switched to PWM wiring so your 2023 will send a constant 12 volts to the camera, which typically leads to a lot of…

There is not really a functional difference between the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter for Furrion RV Observation Camera #FR87PR and the no longer available FR74FR. The only difference is that #FR87PR will work with 2021 and up model year vehicles,…

Answer 11

For the newer GM trucks like your 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 you do need to use the Furrion GM adapter part #FR87PR with the Furrion Observation Vision S systems like the part #FOS43TASF that you referenced. This is the adapter that the video you…

Answer 12

The Furrion #FR87PR 7-way vehicle power adapter cable would indeed be necessary for the camera system to function. The problem is that newer Ford and GM trucks equipped with 'Trailer Management' or 'Smart Trailer Connectors' don't…
