If there was a way you could build some sort of enclosure from behind, and maybe a plexiglas window in front, that might resolve the moisture problems. A lot of work, though.

I mounted the monitor on my visor so it's out of the way. Reception was adequate.
The only downside, so far, is the image rotation is pretty limited (L/R).
I was a sub navy nuke; worked at Point Beach for 9 yrs.; and now going into my 9th year at Prairie Island.

Good luck with the camera. I installed my Peak camera last night. I like the small size as all I use it for is hooking up trailers.

Electrical Maintenance training. My cube neighbor is one of our RP instructors (Milich) and he's a die hard Chevy fan. No end to the ribbing between the two of us.

good thread. I also want to get one to help with hooking up the car trailer. Where can one find the Peak cameras?

That would be something I wouldn't mind having. Like to get a screen small enough for the visor, and one that is wireless. I guess my biggest concern is the wireless signal.

Here is the monitor in my 09 F550, it is a 10.4" wide screen, and clips over your rear view mirror. When off, you can use it as a mirror, and it has 2 inputs, this is the upper camera while I'm towing the 57. The wiring is easy to hide without taking anything apart, and the connections end uder the column for easy access. I got it on Ebay, for $110.

This is an interesting option:

I wonder how the GPS compares, to say a Garmin?
