Rear camera

[Lumatic]

I am looking for a wireless monitor that mounts on my rear view mirror, also a wireless external camera. Thanks

I have great results with the Haloview products.
Their rear view mirror mount is the BT-11 system.
If you don't currently have an external camera mount, consider mounting the camera inside the rear window. Out of the weather, easy access to power, no need to keep the running lights on, works great with a simple mod.
It's what I did. I actually have two cameras, one normal rear view, and a smaller second camera piggybacked that looks down at my rear bumper for backing.

I like my Haloview MC10. I hooked up monitor power via an upfitter switch relay. Power cord runs behind the headliner, behind the post, and down to the near fuse box. I run lights all the time, hitched or unhitched. The rearview mirror is a natural place to look to see what’s behind you.

I'm pleased with my Haloview as well. They have a new model that incorporates a TPMS as well.

Got it!
In that case I'd still recommend the Haloview BT-11.
Just mount the camera in the conventional way.
Look at their web site and see what adapters they offer. Don't be shy about e-mailing them either, they might have something that's not on the web site. Rain covers?
I understand the difference between the MC-10 and the BT-11 is the 11 has 'blind spot monitoring.'
In your case with a Class C, you can leave the monitor attached, unlike with a tow vehicle where you go back and forth. Win-Win.

When traveling with the trailer, I leave the monitor attached even when not hitched. The monitor, when not powered on, is plenty reflective for a rearview mirror. The upfitter switch works nicely for this purpose but you could unplug it too. Might be a switch in the monitor.

You might want to read the reviews of the BT11 on the Haloview website before purchasing. The monitor is not reflective. There are a lot of wires in the dash. Seem to be two devices in addition to the monitor that add clutter to the dash. I had been wondering if it was time to upgrade because the minor lag might have been addressed. Think I’ll keep mine until the bugs are worked out of the BT11.

Thanks for the "real world" experience. I didn't want the mirror monitor, I wanted the 7" which I mounted separately. My package was the 7108. Still love it.

BTW, the MC-10 is $140 less than the BT-11. (If BSM isn't important, save some cash)
Also, the MC-10 has a single channel monitor while the BT-11 has a four channel.
Looks like the BT-11 includes a dashcam and a GPS interface. Check their web site, it's kinda cool and kinda clunky all at the same time. Lots of 'stuff'.

In my case I have three cameras, all paired to the same monitor. The usual rear view camera, the bumper cam, and I had a third camera, so I made a package I use for hitching, with the camera on the ground perpendicular to the hitch. (It's powered by the trailer Zamp plug. As long as my reptile brain doesn't drive away, it's handy )

That is a disadvantage of the MC10…just one camera.

Looking forward to the “2.0” version of the BT11 with (hopefully) less clunkiness.
