We have a 2021 XLS22MLE and for the past three years had a Dohonest camera system in place. This year on our trip home the system died. Is there a general consensus on a decent camera system reasonably priced? It seems to me that the Furion system is highly over priced, or am I mistaken?

I feel your pain. The monitor on my Furrion died on the way to Elkhart. I'm convinced the antenna cable connection inside came off - it always did rattle on the road. But of course LCI won't cover it despite complaints I put in during warranty period. So now I'm looking for something. Frustrating because the three cameras are fine, but apparently Furrion aka Lippert doesn't sell replacements for this model.2022 Solitude 310GK-R - Dual pane, factory solar, factory gen, 8K axles with discs, W/D, Heat Pump, Gen 2 Goosebox, Battleborn

Well, I never tried to fit it. It may fit but I just don't know for sure. The RD7 came with a mounting plate that has the same footprint as the Furrion mount and we used that. Without the mount it is easy to change the angle of the camera. When we are "B" training with the boat attached to the 303, I angle it down more to get a better view of the boat. When distance travelling I aim it further out to see traffic better.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins w Aisin and 9 cup holders

Haloview BT7 here and we are really happy with it.I had the Lippert Insight camera so the original mounting holes are not covered just filled in with sealant. Had a different Haloview on my last trailer and were happy thus the second purchase for this unit.Nels & Vanessa

I think I'm going to replace with the Haloview when I get home. The frustrating part is that I think the only thing wrong with the Furrion monitor is the antenna connection came loose. It's rattle since new and I could minimize the rattle by re-orienting the antenna. I just can't figure how to pop the back cover off without breaking it - guess that really doesn't matter since it's a throw away in any case.
Lippert wants $440.95 just for a replacement monitor - that's more than the Haloview kit.2022 Solitude 310GK-R - Dual pane, factory solar, factory gen, 8K axles with discs, W/D, Heat Pump, Gen 2 Goosebox, Battleborn

This is the exact one I bought Guess it was called RD7-mini
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B087TLHW3T/...v_ov_lig_dp_it
That link is Canada so I'm guessing it is less than $400 in the States?
I bought the range dominator system because I wanted as little WiFi lag as possible. With aerial extension there is no discernable lag. I bought it in 2021 and there may have been improvements since and maybe the extension is not needed anymore? Still works great but as I mentioned before...the 7" monitor is too big imo. You can also add side cams at your marker lights if you want and integrate into the system later.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins w Aisin and 9 cup holders

For those of you with the BT7, do you have any glitchy issues with it? I have the BT7, and I generally love it, but it tends to reboot a couple of times, usually right after turning it on. Usually about 3-4 times it will just randomly reboot, and then after that, it's good to go for the rest of the trip except for the occasional signal problem, which is pretty infrequent. I just hope it never happens when I'm crossing 3 lanes of freewayChyrrl and Rich
