Best Backup Camera System for a Class C Motorhome Without Factory Camera Prep

Published 11/03/2026

Question:

I recently bought a 2018 Coachmen Freelander Class C motorhome that doesn't have a backup camera. It's about 30 feet long and backing into campsites can be pretty difficult, especially when traveling alone. I'd like something with its own monitor that I can also leave on while driving. What would you recommend?

Hey Brian!

I recommend the Rear View Safety Camera System # RVS798FR. It includes a 7" color monitor, 1080p waterproof rear camera with night vision up to 50', and a 66' cable, which should give you plenty of length for your Freelander.

Since it's a complete wired system, you won't need any factory camera prep. You can also leave the camera on while driving to monitor traffic behind your motorhome, and the wired connection eliminates concerns about wireless signal interference.

The monitor supports two additional cameras if you ever want to add side views, and the necessary mounting hardware is included.

Would you prefer mounting the camera up high near the roofline or lower down near the license plate?
