If you're having pairing issues with the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS43TASF then you most likely aren't receiving enough power at the camera from the 7-way connection. The camera system requires a constant 12v power source to properly function, and you could be getting just enough power for it light up but not actually work. There are two solutions to this issue:
Option 1: By using the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera # FR87PR. This adapter will send a steady current to the camera allowing you to receive a signal to your monitor. The male end will plug into the 7-way on your tow vehicle and you'll plug your trailer into the female end of this adapter.
Option 2: By using the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems # VGR64VR. This is a permanent fix that will just splice in-line right behind the camera and send a steady current to the camera to fixed the signal issues.
Of the two choices I personally recommend the # VGR64VR just because it's so easy to do and when it's done you don't have to do anything else. The # FR87PR would be one additional thing you'd have to do every time you want to tow your trailer.
I've attached some videos below where I'll walk you through each installation.
