Using first and third person prefabs together.

Since my Google foo seems to be failing me I've arrived here. I want the player to be able to switch between first and third person view and I thought it would be easiest to use the existing prefabs and just activate/deactivate each in turn, but that didn't work so well as the two views quickly got out of sync. Will I need to create a custom setup for switching views, or am I missing an easy or relatively easy way to do this using the prefabs?

Thank you in advance.
