Back up camera
I purchased the unit AMV-5 from supercircuits.com last year. Now priced at $200.
Mounted the camera below the tailgate bumper level.
It had LED infrared that is great in the dark; also microphone.
Outstanding for solo trailer hookup.

Camera came in the mail last night so a couple hours crawling around under the truck in the dark with a fish tape and a mini-mag in my mouth and it's about ready to go. The wire off the camera was just long enough with the long box to make it into a grommet under the rear seat. My only real complaint is the power/ground wires are separated so I had to use like a 100 zip ties to keep it neat running through the door sill. Once my screen gets here monday I can hook up the power and mount the camera, I got it zip tied behind the bumper for now.

I had mine in the bumper hole (for spare tire access) for a bit
when I wasn't pulling my 5th - normally I install it by the rear
window on the 5th and use it as a rear-view mirror for traffic
(so not only for backup, but also for forward travel).
Note it's a wireless camera, with a receiver/monitor in the truck
cab.
Here's the truck bumper version, with power coming from the
hitch plug (just have to turn the truck lights on to get juice):
Here's where on the 5th. 12v power comes from inside the 5th:
7" LCD Monitor in the cab:
