I mounted this camera system on my 36 ft fifth wheel trailer, is is possible to get a longer lead for the antenna to improve picture?

A 2.4gzh wifi antenna for a router will screw onto either camera or monitor. You should be able to find an extension in computer wifi antennas. I have several laying around that screw right on.

The kit includes about 10' of cabling for the video feed. However I've ended up needing extra wiring to power and ground the camera. If you're using it for a full size pickup or bigger You will need extra cabling (@least I did)

Due to the low angle needed this might not be the best choice. A stand alone dish would be your best choice. I own an RV repair service so feel free to call me anytime with questions. Shayne. Two Zero Eight Two Five One 9543

There is no mounting kit of any kind. There is a wire for the positive supply to the booster and a short male antenna lead, don't remember length, and then the female antenna socket on the unit. It works great though.

I have a full size conversion van.I needed to add a 6' extension to the camera cable to reach the operators area.

It uses a rca cable to connect so it can be as long as you want. I hooked my unit up so the camera has a switch to an always live circuit, not the reverse light, so I can switch it to always be on to see my boat trailer. Nice picture that is tilted slightly to just see my trailer ball as well to back it up and hitch up. Has a nice wide-angle. Works great so far.

I bought a camera with the extra camera and harness all included from the same provider. The wireing for the trailer and the truck were both generously long.

If you use the tripod for its designed purpose of support for a satellite dish,you should not need a longer mast since the signal is coming from a low earth orbiting satellite. With a five foot length mast, the wind may topple it unless you stake the feet to the ground. A longer mast would require guy wires.

I Roger, I am not sure of your question. If you mean install in front of your vehicule the answer is yes. This camera is looking in one direction only. It could be use for every application you want. By the way this camera is PAL only so Europe standard. On my RV my monitor switch from American standard NTSC to pAL by itself when he received the video signal. Also the cable is 33 feet not 60 feet. The picture is color and nice looking, case stong metal. Franois

yes I think that would work. I have the screen on my dash board and I have the camera on the back of my travel trailer so that I can see behind. The screen should work over the mirror. I don't know what kind of vehicle you intend to mount it on but the picture quality is affected by distance and metal objects. It is best to have line of sight from the transmitter. I had to move the transmitter from the back of the trailer- 30+ feet away and place it in a cupboard behind a fiberglass cap on the front of the trailer- a distance of about 20 feet. Much farther and with more objects in between will degrade the image and it may not be as useful. yes I think that would work.

There are too many variables to authoritatively answer any questions about the range your installation will get. It seems to be the best short antenna out there. Set it up (for SWR) according to the directions and vary the mount position and you will get the best range available with anything other than a permanent mount 8' whip!

it might be it has a wire for backup camera and we put it in a 1973 dodge pickup, had a wire to touch it and say there was something behind us..i couldn't tell you, you'll have to contact the company on that.

Hi Daniel, I was planning on using the stock GM XM antenna also but found it was integrated into the stock wiring harness. I suppose if you dis-assemble the antenna and can trace the wire coming into the dash the answer would be yes. I was able to reuse the motion sensor lead for the GPS positioning as it was a separate wire. I didn't have an existing backup camera and suspect it will be integrated as well...you might be able to splice the lead into the supplied RCA cable connector....Good Luck! Tom

Not sure all of my cameras are mounted at least 8' off the ground. They do however give a great picture for the price of the system.

I had the camera installed by a professional installer. I can tell you that the wiring is not already installed on RAV's that don't come with a Navigation system with camera. It took my guy less than an hour to do the entire installation, and it came out really nicely. Good luck.

I think you would have to build a custom mount adapter. It WOULD be worth the effort if you could use the large Ford towing mirrors with electric adjustment, heat, and integrated running and turn signal lights. However, those are running $300 to $400 in the aftermarket, so this will not be a cheap undertaking. The other alternative would be to get a remote backup camera and place that at the end of the trailer. Probably much cheaper in the long run. I love Amazon, but this is the type of vehicle-specific question which probably is better answered in one of the internet forums specifically for your vehicle. I would imagine this has already been answered in one of those. Good luck.

There was a camera that my stereo shop installed originally that mounted near my tow hitch that would work with no tailgate. However, it was so low that it was useless for visibility much more than 4 feet behind the truck.
