Is There RV Observation System with Better Reception that Hopkins
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 02/04/2025
Question:
Ive got a Hopkins Towing camera on my rv. The wifi doesnt always work. Im using the camera instead of mirrors, so Im blind when it cuts out. Is there an update or some better way to get the wifi signal? Chuck

Hey Charles, the only wireless camera system I can recommend that will have better reception is the Furrion Vision S systems like the part # FOS43TASF. Hopkins reception is a bit spottier than we would like and there isn't a way to improve it but the Furrion would work great and not leaving you hanging. Is that something you'd consider?
