Wireless trailer camera

What's a good one to get for an enclosed car trailer? There are too many choices but it seems like the digital ones are the way to go. I don't want the wired Ford trailer camera because I want the monitor on all the time while towing. Thanks!

I have a Furion observation camera on our 5th wheel, really handy when double towing, or to spot tailgaters, and when passing, or backing up..

Is that the one with the fancy looking mounting bracket? If it is, does it limit the amount of up and down adjustment and how far does it let the camera see behind the trailer? Thanks!

Furion has kind of dominated the market and they do work very well. I also have the Furion and i really like it. A buddy bought an imitation Ebay camera and I was pretty impressed with it. It was also about $200 less then the Furion. Ill see if I can find out what it is. But yes long story short. The wireless is the way to go and they are starting to get to be pretty inexpensive.

Just got back from my first trip with a FURRION FOS07TASF. My trailer was pre-wired for a Furrion camera, although Grand Design could have used a 12 volt hot so my lights don't need to be turned on. Oh well I chalk it up to short sided trailer manufacturing.
The camera works all the time while running. I bought three 6x6 white smooth tiles from Home Depot(0.66 each) and cut them to size and epoxied them together. They now provide weight and a good surface for the suction mount to stick to.
The camera works great. Only complaint is when the camera is facing the sun the image is very bright, I'm going to build/buy a camera hood.
