My wife bought me a Furrion for Christmas, year before last. Don't know the asking price (was a gift) but it works fantastic, has nigh vision and a backup grid you can turn on and off. Has good range too. I can be 45-50 feet from the camper and it works fine. In color too.

I picked up the hot wire from my clearance lights to power the camera.

Have been reading your posts about single slide t/c and from my experiences I would not go to any single slide without upgrading to a dually truck. As to your interest into rear view cameras, I bought a unit last year while wintering in Florida and took it home and installed it thinking it would not work very well. Quite a pleasant surprise when the unit works as well as it has. Bought it off of e-bay for under 60 $ The unit came with a 5" monitor[colour] and a night vision  wireless camera. Search RV wireless backup camera kit .Hope this will help.

Thank you Jade Racing. At this point, I think I've been talked out of a heavier camper or at least the Lance 1181 I was interested in. I am safety conscious . However that aside, I am not totally convinced that my F250 7.3 with air bags, a Dana 80 rear end and E rated tires , couldn't handle another 1k lbs.

Thanks for the advice on the rear view camera / monitor. I will look into that.
