So... what about in an RV ? Chevy truck and a 35 ' 5th wheel toyhauler. Need to see behind the RV from the truck cab and do not want wires.

This should work fine for you. It will work with line of sight out to 500yds. So that distance should be fine.

Can't answer this for you. Have one connected to my living room cable box and receiver in garage. Works good even through the walls. The receiver and sender needs 12 V, so far OK. But why don't you look for a wireless backup system?

Yes will work. Line of sight is the best. To increase the signal strength. Replace the omni antenna s with yagi s face each other. For a greater distance.

Sorry, never tried in that application. If you have the proper power adapters and connections then it should work just fine. Probably way to much power for your needs at 1 watt.

On an RV, drill a hole, seal around the antenna, snake the wire down to the radio however you can find a path.

Another idea budget is higher but livinlite trailers built small light vrv trailers today they only show the big toy hauler. But they will make the smaller rig if you ask. Think enclosed utility trailer with tent trailer popout bed in the side. And large screen you can screen off the big open door. Worth a look also.

You will need a battery installed on front of trailer or some way to power and it would need to be quite heavy wire (cables) it you were to runn any distance to another battery....

It protects the electronics of the vehicle so it doesn't have to draw more current than the wiring might be capable of of. Many newer vehicles are using thinner gauge wiring that might not be able to handle the current draw for both the vehicle and the trailer lights.

The Trucker Antenna is "top loaded" or has what used to be called a "beer can" on it, to help tune the antenna, a little bulky and maybe prone to damage. To choose the best ask: Are you willing to cut a hole in the roof? If so I would recommend an NMO mount and antenna - these will give a solid, permanent install. I suggest this because an RV tends to find branches once in awhile and the NMO mounted won't get "swept" off the roof like a magnetic mount, and all your wiring is protected inside the body of the RV.

I did a quick GOOGLE search - here is what I found: http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php?topic=44968.0 I would go with running underground wires to a mobile pedestal and put a 100 AMP breaker box - with both a 50 amp and 30 amp RV plug along with a dual 110V plug. just in case you buy a 50 amp rv later

First I will say I'm not an expert. But more power (watts) more better. Also you antenna should be at least halfway above the top of your truck.

I have a pickup with a top that stays on all the time. It's mounted in the truck bed about 3 feet from the cab. Works fine. Youtube has some installation videos. Great product for the price.

That should work fine. If it was me I'd mount the speakers and xm unit to a board or in a box so it stays put in the work truck. Less tangled wires too.

On my pick up there was a wire plug under the back of the bed that I plugged a trailer wire adaptor into , I would ask your dealer for the wire adaptor and location on the truck. On mine it is not a t adaptor just a plug the adaptor plugged into..

it would help if i knew what you mean by outlet. i've used my cb radio in both my car/truck/rv and in my home as a base station with a convertor .so iam assuming that you may wish to do both .one thing i would recomend that you have a radio shop wire the unit so that interference is kept to a minimum

Installed mine on a chevy crew cab and mounted controll box under hood. The only wires that were not too short were the ones for the front head lights and one of them were close. The wires for the back were pieced under driver seat, way short. I'd say they would be to short for you as well.

There are brief periods of interference when I put my 2005 Chevy Express in reverse but it doesn't noticeably impact the usefulness on the product. This may be due in my case to the wireless antenna from the camera not being mounted securely. Currently it is dangling from the ceiling. This is a raised-roof conversion van which is completely upholstered preventing the double-faced tape from holding it in a fixed location.

You're welcom.Also, if it helps any. I put the converter on the trailer and wired it there, instead of on the tow vehicle. That way there is no change to the plug on the truck and I didn't have to add any additional connections between truck and trailer.

I install this unit on a 2002 f-150 standard cab. I mounted the module to the underside of the bed , I was concerned about the weather so after all the hook ups I covered the module with weather proof putty. you can pick it up at any RV sales.I tapped into the reverse backup light on the rear right taillight assy .Mounted the sensor on top of steering wheel and ran the wire to the rear of truck and connected it to module.So far all is well

but a relay kit, don't skimp on this part of the system, look for a heavy duty relay kit and make sure the wires will reach all the way across from left to right of your truck. I would have suggested you get an led kit instead, but hid is good too
