I did the same thing. Just finished an LA to Atlanta drive and got very comfortable with the configuration. I did realize that I didn’t really need the side camera views as they took up space on the monitor and didn’t give me any more information than my mirrors. So I put the rear camera view exclusively on the monitor. I could see any vehicles from that view who were speeding up behind me and when my trailer was clear when changing lanes. I did run into visibility issues in the monitor when the sun was behind me or at night when headlights were shining. Turning the brightness on the monitor all the way to 0 helped a lot.
