Replace Bed Camera
Hello,
I have a 2026 F250 with 360 camera systems. I will be adding a camper shell to the truck soon, such that the bed view camera will be blocked. Is anyone aware of how to add a remote camera and have it replace the bed view camera? That way I can use the trucks display to view the camera. I am either going to add a camera on the shell or put one on the back of a trailer.
I contacted Zorg industries and they said they did not have a solution. There are lots of replacement cameras for the tailgate out there on the web, but I couldn't find one for the cargo area.
To be even more flexible, if I could put a second camera on the same input with a switch I could revert to the bed camera easily. There is a chance I will be pulling the shell off once a year or so to haul a 5th wheel trailer.
Thanks in advance and if this is covered somewhere else any links would be appreciated. (I could not find any threads about this.)

If your truck has the option for the integrated trailer-mounted camera, you could mount one on the trailer and be just fine - you might even be able to rig it up so it can mount inside your topper so you have a bed view. If not, I'm not sure how you'd add one.
However, the center-mounted high brake light camera (bed camera) only activates when you select it, it doesn't automatically come up for reverse or on the 360° view, so blocking it should have no ill effects. You won't be able to see what's going on in your bed with the topper on, but that would be the only drawback.
