Backup camera recommendations

[MTPaul]

Fellow Allied members,

We just purchased a 2027 Alliance All Access 25RL and it came with backup camera prep but no recommendation as to what sort of camera would best fit. Therefore, I'm reaching out to others who might have experience with your own backup camera setup to give me an idea as to what direction I might go when acquiring my own camera.

Thanks in advance for your help.

HALOVIEW on ours and with the ne version you can have TPMS built in.

I am big fan of Haloview, as it records the camera feed (1-4 cameras) to an SD card, turning it into a dashcam as well.

Here is my video for their 3 camera solution

2 Allies,

Thanks for the reply. When Alliance says "backup camera prep" I assume they mean the trailer has been pre-wired by the factory at the rear of the trailer to accept installation of the rear facing camera correct? I did visit the Haloview website, and I see (no pun intended) they offer all sorts of options or packages including being able to monitor tire pressures (TPMS).

Our trailer we have has four valve stem caps that have the color red on the end on the cap. Do you know whether I will need a different cap to be able to monitor tire pressures? In other words, does our trailer already have a built-in TPMS sensor installed on all four wheels and all I need is to have a way to monitor the tire pressure?

Thanks.

@MTPaul As I said in my video, I decided to not use the Alliance prewired power circuit. I tapped into the RV's marker lights, so they camera only comes on with trailer connected via 7-way AND headlights are on in the truck. Behind the "camera prep" plate you will simply find a 12v wire circuit.

The valve stem on the RV are not part of a TPMS. The only thing on the RV for TPMS prep is the repeater.
