If your RV has a rectangular plate on the back with the Furrion name on it, the manufacturer already made part of this decision for you. Furrion's prep bracket is factory-fitted across a large share of towables and motorhomes, which makes the Vision S+ the path of least resistance for adding a rear-view camera.
That convenience is not the same as being the best system, so this review looks at what the Vision S+ actually delivers: how the digital wireless link behaves over the length of a rig, what the two monitor sizes change, and where a hardwired system would still be the better choice. Our assessment is research-based and draws on Furrion's published specifications and widely available owner and expert coverage.

Furrion Vision S+ 5-Inch RV Backup Camera System
A digital wireless backup camera system with a 5-inch monitor and a weatherproof sharkfin-style rear camera, built as Furrion's updated Vision S+ generation.
Why it stands out
The compact 5-inch monitor and sharkfin camera housing take up less dash and exterior space than the larger 7-inch configuration.
Best for
Towable and motorized RVs needing a compact rear-view monitor
Not ideal for
Buyers who want the largest possible monitor for split-screen viewing
Key features

- ◆5-inch touchscreen monitor in a compact housing for smaller dashboards
- ◆Weatherproof sharkfin-style rear camera housing rated for RV exterior mounting
- ◆Expandable to additional Vision S+ cameras for side or interior views
- ◆Infrared night vision on the rear camera
Pros
- Straightforward installation without running a cable the length of the RV
- Compact touchscreen monitor suits smaller dashboards
- Expandable to additional cameras
Considerations
- Smaller screen than the 7-inch version can be harder to read at a glance
- Night vision range is limited compared to hardwired systems
Final verdict
Furrion Vision S+ 5-Inch RV Backup Camera System suits buyers who prioritise towable and motorized rvs needing a compact rear-view monitor. Worth knowing: Wireless signal can still be affected by extreme distances or heavy metal obstructions between camera and monitor.
The digital wireless link
The Vision S+ uses a digital wireless connection rather than the analogue links older RV cameras relied on. In practice this matters most in campgrounds, where dozens of wireless devices are competing in the same space and analogue systems tend to show interference as rolling static.
Distance and obstruction are still the limits. On a long fifth wheel with metal between the camera and the cab, signal quality can degrade, and no wireless system escapes that physics. If you tow something very long or heavily shielded, a wired system is the reliable answer.
5-inch or 7-inch monitor
Furrion offers the system with a compact 5-inch monitor or a larger 7-inch one, and this is the main configuration choice. The 5-inch is easier to place on a small dash and less obtrusive in the windscreen; the 7-inch is clearly easier to read at a glance and makes far more sense if you intend to run split-screen views from multiple cameras.
If you expect to add side cameras later, the larger monitor is the more future-proof purchase. If the camera is purely for reversing into sites, the compact unit is sufficient.
Installation on a prepped rig — and on one that is not
On a Furrion-prepped RV, installation is largely mechanical: the sharkfin camera mounts to the existing plate, connects to the pre-run power, and pairs with the monitor. This is comfortably a same-afternoon job.
On an RV without the prep plate, you are running power to the rear and mounting the bracket yourself, which is a bigger undertaking and removes much of the system's convenience advantage. At that point, compare against systems designed for retrofit rather than assuming Furrion is automatically the answer.
Night vision and everyday use
Infrared night vision covers what it needs to for reversing into an unlit site: it shows the immediate area behind the rig in monochrome. It is not a long-range view, and it should not be treated as a substitute for a spotter when the manoeuvre is tight.
Used as a driving mirror on the highway, the camera does a reasonable job of showing following traffic, which is the feature owners tend to appreciate more than they expected when buying.

Final verdict
On a Furrion-prepped RV the Vision S+ is the sensible default: quick to fit, stable in crowded campgrounds and expandable. On a non-prepped rig, or a very long one, it loses much of its advantage and a wired system deserves a look.
