We purchased this system a couple of months ago for our motorhome. We just got home from a trip and loved it! Shipping was very fast. I broke a little piece off the monitor stand and they shipped a new one out the same day at no charge. Very nice people. Very easy to install. I installed the wiring under the motorhome while my husband installed the camera and hooked up the power supply. Our rearview mirror inside the motorhome is useless so we intalled the monitor above the mirror and leave the camera on the whole time we are travelling and use it as a rearview mirror. Now we can see our towed vehicle and all the traffic behind us. It eliminates all blind spots. It is just awesome! We feel much more confident now travelling with this camera/monitor system. It works great at night too. We highly recommend this system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product - could use some improvement though, June 28, 2010

This review is from: Rear View Safety 7" LCD Color Backup Camera System with Audio (Misc.)

I just installed the Rear View Camera system in my 2003 Ford E350 "box van" as a
backup camera, and I have to say the construction of the camera is SOLID. VERY
heavy-duty build quality that looks like it will last. Performance is also very
good - in all but the sunniest of conditions, where it's a little washed out. I
have the monitor mounted on the windshield right where the rear-view mirror
would be installed (as my van has no mirror - no rear window!).

Now for the "cons":

1. The connector at the end of the camera wire is quite large. In my case, the
camera is mounted to a 1/8" stainless steel frame at the top/rear of the truck.
The camera connector calls for a 5/8" or larger hole to be drilled (larger if
you wish to use the included rubber grommet). That is fine if drilling a thin-skin
camper side. But 1/8" stainless is another matter altogether! I had to
buy a $20 5/8" bit, and it took 6 smaller holes to be drilled first before the
large bit would finish the cut. This single hole took 30 minutes in all to
accomplish. At even at that, it still wasn't big enough for the grommet, which
I abandoned and used caulk instead - I would have had to buy a larger bit to
make the 1" grommet fit. All of this could have been avoided if the connector
were smaller or better still, be just pig-tails to a connector block.

2. The way the camera and sun shield go together is just silly. It takes 3 arms,
and 19 fingers to line up all the holes and 6 screws. I had to do this installation
9 feet up a ladder! It ended up that I decided to modify the mount slightly - I
simply used a single screw (they are tiny - 4/40 or smaller, 3/16" long!) on each
side of the camera body first - then set the angle. Then I drilled out the center
hole of the sun-shield cover so it would go OVER the already-installed camera mount
screws - this way I could mount and aim the camera FIRST, then put on the sun shield.
The way it comes you have to do the mount, the camera, and the sun shield ALL AT THE
SAME TIME. This means lining up the shield center hole, the mount center hole, and
the center screw hole of the camera all at once, before inserting a screw not much
bigger than a large grain of rice... no small feat 9 feet up a ladder on the back
of my truck!

3. Because the sun shield/camera mating only has "fixed" screw locations, you are
limited in the exact aiming to one of 6 fixed positions. A much better solution would
have been to have the mount allow itself to be tightened into ANY angle position. I
had to settle for a compromise that allows me to see the extended truck bumper, but
is a lower angle than I would have preferred.

4. The manual is VERY spartan. It was no biggie for me or anyone used to putting things
together - but I can see where someone is going to have a tough time figuring things
out - the book doesn't really explain hardly anything as far as actual installation goes.

But other than that, it's a fantastic product - I just ordered 2 more cameras for it - one
to go inside the truck "cube box" to keep an eye on things inside, and the 3rd to point
more directly backwards to create something closer to a true "rear view mirror" view than
the "backup view" of the first camera, which I need to see my rear bumper when backing to
a loading dock.
