Has anybody had any experience with the wireless back up cameras? We are thinking of a system with three cameras.

Will be following this as well. I have wanted a wireless backup camera for some time but always hesitated not knowing how well it would work for a 40 foot bus.

Installed the VOYAGER from CW for a customer on a 45 foot 07 Eagle, kinda pricey but works real well with reversible image. Pull 12V and a ground for the camera in rear, instructions are to pull power from the clearance lights. Monitor has a cigarette lighter plug and can be mounted to windshield or dash FWIW  ;)

Think I have a Vison Tech and it's on the blink. Quit about 1 month ago. Wired already front to back maybe can splice and put a current model in. This thing was installed back in 1992 when they converted this puppy.

Hi All, got 2 different wireless versions, neither seemed to make it thru the stainless steel, same camera with coax,  crystal clear. I put one of the wireless cams as my curb side cam, still breaks up, but not very often and it has a clear line of sight, 7 ft away, lvmci...

I used a wireless.  I had a coax running to the front from the back and cut it into the line to the antenna.  Put the antenna up front and it works great. Could have as easily installed a wired unit but I had the wireless unit and it was intermittent as was mentioned by lvmci.

   Some people have commented on signal loss or degradation on some wireless systems when over 28 to 30 feet. Have no experience on this myself. I did recently purchase a system from Rear View Safety from Amazon for use on my pickup to haul a trailer. It worked quite well and appears to be well made, especially the camera. Color and excellent night vision. Study the reviews on Amazon for this item, as many purchased for motorhomes. It also has view selector for two additional cameras, maybe for small side ones or whatever. I had mine mounted on upper rear truck cap. I also bought a cheap license plate camera from the Bay and it worked well with the same monitor; just bought an adapter pigtail and cable from Rear View safety to hook up to monitor as the license unit had a pretty cheap RCA cable with it. Hooking truck up to trailer was perfect the first time I tried it using the license plate camera. I intend to transfer the system to the coach to replace an old Sony b&w system and also install side cameras. Image can be reversed and  distance gage lines can be turned on or  off. Again, read several of the reviews; one through five stars to see if it might suit.

I am thinking about a four camera system and will be watching this thread also. I want two side-by-side cameras in the back one looking straight down at the hitch and for backing up, and the other looking out at the toad and beyond more like a rear view mirror. I am thinking that the other two would be used as side cameras to assist the mirrors and hopefully with enough view to see the side bays. I have noticed camera prices have declined a lot over the past few years and would quickly pay for itself quickly as bay doors and bumpers are pricy. Does anyone have this type of setup?

The school here uses the Tadi Brothers wireless cameras they are pricey at 800 bucks but they sure work good night or day

One of mine looks down on the hitch and toad and I am the other just over the back of the truck camper shell and shots about 50 feet behind clear 20 feet at night with night vision.
