Haloview vs. Furrion Vision

I'm looking at purchasing a new backup camera with the side marker cameras. I'm interested in your opinions between the Haloview and Furrion Vision systems. It's around $500 for the Haloview and $800 for the Furrion...which to me is a quit a bit! Just curious which one y'all think is better and why?

Thanks as always!

I associate Furrion with cheaper components and more failures. I haven't been impressed with their tv's or radios. Not sure about their camera system. If I'm spending that kind of money it better be a rear observation camera (can be used driving down the road) and not just a backup camera (only used while backing up).

The Furrion is overpriced and limited in its usefulness imho. It was really the only thing available when I got mine. (In a wireless setup). It works ok but you can’t change the screen view layout and you can’t adjust the side cameras to view a little further inward or outward. My rear camera died from water intrusion into the camera connection so I have to replace it with the shark fin because they don’t sell the red marker light camera separately, which isn’t a big deal other than the mounting is different and I’ll have to patch 4 screw holes (and reinstall the original marker light). What I like about it is I can (when they all worked) view all cameras simultaneously, which is nice when you’re using it inside for a security system or even when driving in traffic. However, I believe the newer ones don’t have this feature.

My image of Furrion is they thrive by selling cheap to RV manufacturers and getting their stuff pre wired for easy DIY. Their quality is perfect positioned to be included in new units.

I’m in full agreement about he Furrion product being crap. My current Furrion backup camera is toast from water intrusion. I just couldn’t believe that it was $300 more than the Haloview. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

I bought the Haloview with rear and two side view cameras. I'm totally satisfied after season. Way better than the factory rearview that came with the unit.

Thanks morleyz...it’s this type of review I was hoping to get on the Haloview.

We've been using the Furrion Vision S for 2-1/2 years and it's been flawless, has not lost signal one time and the image is great.
