I have a lot of miles on my current rig, we are 73' going down the road so the size does not bother me. And I had to drive tractor-trailers, including backing them into the shop when I worked on them back in the late 70's. That said, I still have a lot to learn about backing up into a tight space. The camera can't hurt.

What is the night vision like on some of these cameras? Short day season is when our family can do most of our traveling, so that means lots of parking in the dark, so that has been a concern of mine personally.

I am debating this as well, my 21' 350 has the option to add the camera to the navigation unit and my 21' GD 311BHS is prepped for the Furion but I don't want an additional screen on my dash. My 311 is 37' long and I need to use my Ford pass points before they expire....I was also worried about the cable length (thanks for the link HRTKD).....I guess I can explore this option now.
