With the toad it is imperative that you understand your clearances to merge and switch lanes with the traffic around you. The rear camera does a great job for this. Losing the rear camera feed due to the side cameras – which provide nothing that you don’t already see just fine in your mirrors, was extremely frustrating. Just yesterday I was in talking to a RV shop to replace our camera system for our new rig. Ensuring that the new setup keeps the feed on the rear camera is our top priority.

I have found the side pcameras to be quite useful when maneuvering around tight corners, when pulling up to gas pumps and when backing into camp sites. But then I took the time to gain an understanding of their benefits rather than what I perceive to be their weakness. BTW, I do know how to use and adjust side view mirrors.
As a note, I like my new setup with the cameras on the side of the coach better than the cameras higher up on the mirrors. The Freightliner truck mirrors are 500 percent better than the Thor mirrors could ever be.
