trailer backup camera

2019 F 250, 4dr, looking at getting a wired camera setup for the back of our 22” enclosed cargo trailor, i dont tow a lot, so the monitor will be stashed when not in use, looking for experienced tips, was looking at wireless but seems they have a lot of signal problems.

thx in advance

It has connectors and that coiled cable as part of the kit.

I use a wireless camera (Wi-Fi) and it works just fine, Bought it on Amazon for under 50 bucks, uses my Android phone or tablet instead of a monitor. It connects quickly and there is very little buffering. I mounted it using 3M tape on the rear of my 30' travel trailer, a total distance of 45'. Used a marker light for power. When I need a rear view (which is infrequently), I just flip on marker lamps, then pair the camera with either a phone or tablet. Video is color and very clear. I seldom need it, but, when I do, i have it.
