In this video, I install Haloview's new Sens 3 Wireless Blindspot Radar System onto my 30 foot Keystone Cougar fifth-wheel trailer. I show how I hook up the power to my RV 12VDC system via the rigs running light circuit.
Then, I go through the control module settings and give you a quick demo of it in action on a freeway. Stay tuned in a month or two; after some real-world use and testing, I'll be back with my product review.
I’m back with my Haloview Sens 3 wireless vehicle blindspot radar system review. I’ve had a chance to use it on our 30-foot fifth-wheel trailer throughout the last few months. We have crisscrossed the USA southwest desert, raking up over 1000 miles of testing.

Dislikes:
Audio Alert Beep is a Bit Harsh – (I would like to see different tones options included)
Needs Easier Way to Toggle Audio Alert – (Voice command or a switch on the alert lights, maybe?)
LED Indicators are 3M Mounted – (They could include magnetic or Velco mounts)
Expensive Item for Average RVer – (Cheaper than a fully hardwired system but still a large chunk of cash.)
Conclusion
Overall I found the Halo Sens 3 system works well. It’s easy to install with quality-built hardware. The blindspot radar has been a welcome addition to my towing experience providing extra safety on the road.
I honestly don’t feel it’s a must-have for my particular rig, more of a nice-to-have item. I don’t have any blindspot gaps. My Ram pickups extra large mirrors, along with a Haloview rearview camera, do an excellent job already. But to know a vehicle was approaching or beside me without even looking in the mirrors was handy.
