Bed Camera For Gooseneck Hook up

Anyone have a camera in the bed for hooking up a gooseneck?

What brand and can it integrate into the stock screen from Ford?

I do not know of any other than the Ford wired one for trailers. I have a Garmin RV GPS and use their wireless camera mounted to my toolbox which makes it about a foot from the ball.

As I understand it, the CHMSL Center High Mounted Stop Lamp is the Ford camera that is rear facing into the bed and is integrated into the Ford camera system.

I hope that this is helpful to you. I ordered my truck with the 360 camera system and it is included in it and I find it very useful with my fifth wheel.

I put a fold up Tonneau cover on my bed and it blocks the CHMSL view of the ball.
So for me it's worthless.

When I had a 5th wheel camper I used one of these. The screen is on a gooseneck stalk that plugs into a 12V outlet. Camera is battery operated. I left it in a rear door pocket when not in use.

Just so others understand, there are lots of wireless cameras that require an additional screen in the cab that are available. The Ford one is the only one available that is integrated into the Ford screen. And wanted everyone to see the Ford camera in the video in order to decide to order it from the factory. Once you have your truck, I am unsure if you can add it or not and added the previous discussion so anyone can see what others have discussed. Any additional camera to assist you in hitching up is useful.
