5th wheel camera

I am researching aftermarket back up cameras for a 5th wheel. A lot of reviews out there. Could you tell me what your brand is and how you like it?
  • I have the Garmin RV 760LMT with the BC-20 (factory installed) with the transmitter in the very front inside cabinet. Works like a charm.

    The only time we loose signal for a split second is around an occasional Interstate Traffic Camera tower.
  • Another vote for the voyager wireless and my trailer is 35' long. Always a strong signal. It comes with it's own monitor and I am glad it does since I want to be able to see as I am driving also, not just backing up. And I can still use my nav while travelling.

  • I have a Voyager wireless unit and I think that it is very good, although I have never had any other types to compare to. It was very easy to install and has a very clear picture. My fifth wheel is 26 ft long.

    Move it forward you may need $35.00 extension cable.
    If you own Garmin RV GPS the BC-20 back up camera is a decent way to go.The biggest plus is no additional monitor needed as the GPS doubles as a monitor for the camera
  • We have a Tadi and its great. Hard wired to the rv 12 volt lighting circuit then wireless to the TV. Customer support is most excellent.

  • There are literally hundreds to chose from. Do you want "wired" or "wireless" ?

    To be used on the back of the 5'er ?
