Troubleshooting Limited Signal with Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera

Question

Question:

I have a Furrion 4.3” Vision S Camera System which is mounted on a on a factory installed mount on the rear of my RV a 2016 Crossroads Volante 270BH 5th wheel. I installed the rear camera after syncing with the screen with the provided cable. While in the cab of the vehicle a 2017 F250 super-crew cab, Im able to obtain 2-3 bars in strength, with an occasional and usually positional signal loss. When installed on my RV, i have only the message No Signal. Ive checked and the blue light is continuously on. While driving down the highway at any speed I occasionally see a quick blip pop up when i pass under a overpass or beside a big rig. Ive checked the antenna connection multiple times. Additionally, Ive positioned the antenna in the vertical position, at a 45 degree angle, horizontal, sideways, and in every other position imaginable all to no avail. Any assistance or tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - 4.3" Screen # FOS43TASF sounds like it simply has electrical interference or has obstructions causing that weak signal. You may want to replace the antenna with # 772577 and you should put it straight up in the air.

The best option in my opinion is to use extension # WVOSAPANTEXT to put the antennas closer together so the signal is stronger.

Answer 1

The cable that comes with Antenna Extension #WVOSAPANTEXT is a coaxial cable but it is much smaller than TV coaxial cable. From my research it is an RG-58/U based on the 50 ohm rating printed on the cable and the 0.8mm core diameter.
