Backup Camera For Tow Behind Trailer Hookup
Backup camera to hook up to toe behind trailer?
I'm so in need of a quality backup camera when I need to hook up my trailer.
I vary in the times I need to hook up the trailer...on average, I'd say I have to hook up to it about 4 times a month.
As it is now, I back up my truck...put it in park...check to see how far I am from the hitch...then back up and repeat until I'm connected. Ridiculous...I know.
I don't need a permanent mounted camera and actually think having a permanent mounted camera would get damaged over a one or two winter season here as we have to deal with road salt.
I think a removable wireless camera would be better. This way I only use it when needed and then store it back in the cab of my truck protecting it from the road elements.
Thoughts?
Thank you all.

Looks good...I know there are many out there.
With my STC Livewire Programmer and Monitor, I can hook a backup camera into the monitor so I don't need to use another monitor.
Up for consideration as well....is hooking up a GoPro HERO and app to see my way as I backup. I planned on purchasing one anyways... Just a thought.
