I have one in my van and it works ok, I wish I would have wired to a switch rather than the reverse lights so that I could keep tabs on the trailer during towing.

The other thing is i mounted mine on the plate in the right door so you have to shim it a bit to give you a centered view. I thought about putting it in the step bumper but I was worried about kicking it and stuff.

Overall for $99 from wally world it was worth it.

Ditto, Put one on my fathers Conersion E-350. He tells everyone how much he loves it and how easy it is now to hook up to his RV Trailer (he says he can put the ball under the hitch in just one attempt, used to have to try 3 or 4 times).

Well, I finally broke down and bought one of those wireless ones at pep boys for 99 bucks. going to install it this weekend. I think I am going to wire the camera to a switch so I can turn it on while towing to check my quads on the trailer. I thought about just wiring it as the directions indicate but then it only turns on when in reverse? where did you all mount the little screen? I was thinking about velcro to the rear view miror...
