Back up camera F350
Hi,
I have a 2010 F350 Lariat fitted with factory nav/tailgate back up camera and just purchased a truck camper. I plan to remove the tailgate and fit the camper each year May throught Otober and want to install a back up camera at the rear of the camper which plugs into the factory wiring.
I believe that the factory camera is expensive but that the camera itself produces the image whith the "sights" i.e. yellow/green/red lines which I like and providing the standard cable length works may go for.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ken

Well believe it or not, I used one of those cheapo china license plate frame mount cameras. Its perfect for when you back up to mount a trailer. That was the only reason I wanted it for, not to view everything. So the license plate, I thought was the perfect place to put it.

I've got a cheapo backup cam on my license plate that's hooked up to my 7" in dash head unit. I will post some pictures and a video in a few minutes as soon as I go take them.
Update: So here are a few pictures of both how my camera is installed, and a photo of what I see on the screen with the camera on. I'm not backing up to a trailer or into a parking spot, just into my driveway. You will still get the idea though and have a concept of what the camera shows and the quality.

Well the warning beeps are actually a Ford feature, I've got four OEM sensors in my bumper that beep as I near an object while in reverse, so unfortunately you won't get those with just a camera. But for backing into a trailer it's great. Parking spaces 99% of it is using my side mirrors, but the camera is perfect for getting my hitch within an inch of the car behind me. Utilizing every inch of a parking space makes parking a long truck a lot less aggravating for everyone. The camera is a definite recommendation in my book. Plus it's fun to look at the dummies picking their nose in their little compact cars behind you in traffic!

I had the chance to drive a brand new Ram truck a few months ago. The backup system was awesome. I'm thinking Ford has the same or better. Now if only I could afford a NEW truck!! Until then, I guess I will be hunting for a new stereo head unit and a back up cam...
Thanks for all the info...
