  • Difference Between Furrion Vision S FCE48TASL-05 & FR98NR
  • While I was not able to find a FOS07TAEN, there is a FOS07TAEM, which is our part # FR98NR. The difference between that and the # FCE48TASL-05 is the size of the monitor and a light. The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FCE48TASL-05 comes with a 5 inch monitor, a standalone backup camera, and two side marker light cameras. The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FR98NR also has two side marker light cameras, but its backup camera has a rear red light...

  • Backup Hitch Camera with Night Vision
  • The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera System # HM50002 does not have the infrared operation necessary for night-vision capability. But we do offer cameras that have this feature, such as the similarly-priced RVS Wireless Hitch Camera # RVS-83112. The RVS system is shown in detail in the two linked videos I included for you. It features a magnetic base on the camera, which gets power from a 9V battery instead of from wiring you need to install. The camera includes a power-saving auto-off...

  • Comparing Voyager WiSight 2.0 Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision Part Numbers
  • The Voyager WiSight 2.0 Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # ASA57YR we have on our site is the same as the part WVSXS70 that Voyager lists on their site. We started making our own unique numbers once we started carrying more products since there can be some overlap between manufacturers at times.

  • Comparing Wired and Wireless Backup Camera Systems for 2007 GMC Sierra HD 3500
  • Wireless backup camera systems like the Swift Hitch # 04928 can offer easier installation than wired systems such as the Hopkins Smart Hitch # HM50002. But any wireless device can potentially interfere with other similar items such as a tire pressure monitor. The various manufacturers do not test their products with those from the others so there is no way to absolutely guarantee that they will work simultaneously without interaction. The wired Hopkins system # HM50002 uses a license plate...

  • Recommended Camera and Monitor System to Use with a 20 foot Trailer
  • A lot of it really just depends on what you are looking for in a camera. Some people just want one while they are backing up while others would like to use it for observation. Hardwired vs Wireless is another variable as well. One of the most popular backup cameras that we have comes from Rear View Safety with part # RVS-770613-213. This is a hardwired option that comes with a 66 foot cable for the trailer so it will have no problem running the length of your trailer. It also comes with...

  • Comparing Hopkins Backup Cameras and Alert Systems
  • I actually own the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 and it works beautifully. Since it is a hardwire system and not a wireless system, there are no interference issues like you get with the wireless systems. The screen on its monitor is 3-1/2 inches diagonally as opposed to the 2-1/2 inch screen on # HM60195VA. Basically, the 3-1/2 inch is much easier to see. Each system is going to show you whats behind you and alert you if you are close to bumping into something. System...

  • Is The 5 Inch Furrion Monitor Better Or Worse Than The 4.3 Inch Monitor?
  • Great question! The 5" monitor on the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF is more than capable to handle 3 cameras. As a matter of fact, this monitor can handle up to 4 camera inputs with a nice 120° viewing angle! The 4.3" monitor for the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS43TASF can only support 1 camera but also offers the 120° viewing angle, the only difference being with monitor size and the ability to...

  • Difference Between FOS43TASF and FOS05TASF Rear Cameras
  • As you noted, the main difference is that part # FOS43TASF has a 4.3" monitor and part # FOS05TASF has a 5" monitor. Both provide up to 16' of night vision and the same resolution. The 4.3" can only support 1 camera where the 5" can support up to 4 so that would be the key difference. That said the wider view and clearer picture of the # FOS05TASF is a real asset in a rear view camera and would be my recommendation between the two. Included are video resources for additional information.

  • Difference Between Rear View Safety Camera and Quick Connect Kits for Multiple Trailer Use

They both have the ability to connect up to 3 cameras and they come with the Tow Quick Connect Kit so it's easier to connect the cameras up to your vehicle side with the monitor. I really like the wired backup camera systems because if something goes wrong it's a lot easier to troubleshoot...

  • How does the GCH Custom Third Brake Light Camera Work with the Factory Monitor
  • The Custom Third Brake Light Camera for Aftermarket Monitor, part # 3460003, that you referenced is designed to work with aftermarket monitors. It will not work with the factory monitor. Instead, to use one that works with your 4.2" factory monitor, you will need to use part # 3460002. This one comes with a switch kit that installs by plugging into the factory plug behind your radio. The switch will allow you to choose the backup camera or the tailgate one. If you have the 8" factory...

The side marker cameras offer additional visibility and reduce blind spots to help minimize the chance of damaging your RV. A lot of people like to wire...

  • What Is The Difference Between Part Number FCE48TASL-05 and FOS05TASF
  • The Furrion Vision S systems are all good systems but with slightly different configurations. The # FOS05TASF comes with the 5" display and a backup camera. The # FCE48TASL-05 comes with everything that the # FOS05TASF has plus the two side marker lights for a total of three cameras that replace existing lights. Your 2021 Forest River Independence Trail Travel Trailer may be pre-wired for a Furrion Vision S system from the OEM, if this is the case, then I highly recommend the # FCE48TASL-05...

  • Comparing Swift Hitch and Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Backup Cameras
  • The difference between the Swift Hitch camera system # SH02DIGITAL and SH02 is the transmission signal. The SH02DIGITAL sends a digital signal so as to avoid any interference with other wireless devices including Bluetooth. Interference is a common problem with many wireless systems. The digital version solves that issue. There is an AC to DC adapter that you can use with these camera systems, # PP01. Another option is the Rampage wireless camera # RA7710. It transmits via WIFI to a smartphone...

  • Comparing Backup Cameras # RVS-155W and Furrion # FRC12TAPK-BL
  • Both the Furrion part # FRC12TAPK-BL and the RVS part # RVS-155W are fantastic options for back up cameras. Either are going to work well but there are a few differences. The monitor of the RVS is a bit bigger and is designed to mount to something below it permanently. The screen is 5 inches in size. The Furrion has a monitor size of 4.3 inches but is designed to mount to a windshield for more of a temporary mount. I'd go with whichever has the mounting/monitor style that you would find...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Two Hopkins Backup Cameras
  • There are a couple differences between the Hopkins part # HM60195VA and the # HM50002. The # HM60195VA has a 2-1/2 inch LCD monitor, while the # HM50002 has a 3-1/2 inch monitor. The # HM50002 also has Hitch Mode and Everyday Mode options.

In Everyday Mode the display changes to a grid that shows the distance of objects behind...

  • Is LED Backup Light BUL35CB Much Brighter Than Incandescent BU33CRXLB
  • The difference between the lights isn't in the brightness so much as the clarity, so the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL35CB is not significantly brighter overall than the Backup Light with Red Reflex Reflector # BU33CRXLB. I have added some photos showing the lights on for some reference, though keep in mind it's not a perfect representation due to camera angle, room darkness, etc. but I wanted to show an example of the different kind of light. In regards to the...

  • Comparing the Hopkins Backup Cameras Smart Hitch HM50002 vs NVision HM60195VA
  • I can help you spot the differences between the Hopkins Smart Hitch and the NVision. First both the NVision # HM60195VA and the Smart Hitch # HM50002 are made by the same company Hopkins, so they will have many similarities, but there are a few differences. The Smart Hitch # HM50002 does have the hitch mode and the everyday mode where as the NVision only has the "everyday" mode. In Everyday Mode, the monitor will display a grid in red, yellow, and green that alerts you to the distance...

  • Comparing Edge CS2 and CTS2 Monitors for a 2017 Ram 1500 with 5.7L HEMI
  • The difference between the Edge Insight CS2 # EP84030 and CTS2 # EP84130 for your 2017 Ram 1500 5.7L HEMI is that the CS2 has a smaller 2.4" screen and you use physical buttons for navigation. The CTS2 has a 5" touch screen that you use for navigation and it can also be paired to work with the backup camera # EP98201 so I recommend going with it over the CS2. Aside from that they both include suction cups for easy mounting and a cord that connects to your OBDII port.

  • Saris SuperClamp EX or Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack Which is Better?
  • Between the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack item # SA4026F and the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack item # KU24FR, I would go with the Kuat because it will better suit your needs. The Kuat is 12lbs lighter (without add-on) and will be much easier to remove or install on your vehicle than the Saris. This will also be a less expensive setup. You are correct the Kuat will stick out farther than the Saris especially after you attach the add on. As far as your back up camera goes it will...

  • Are Tuning Programs Different In Edge Evolution, Evolution CS, And Evolution CTS For LBZ Duramax
  • I spoke with my contact at Edge and he said that the Edge Evolution tuning program is the same between the Evolution, the Evolution CS, and the Evolution CTS. The only difference is the type of display monitor in each different Evolution model. The display monitor in the Evolution model uses a LCD screen that can display in green, red, and blue or a percentage of each color. The display monitor in the Evolution CS2 uses a full-color, high resolution 2.4 inch screen. The display monitor...
