I towed a 18' 3400 lb bass boat behind a 26' 5th wheel trailer for over eight years. The boats trailer outside/outside tire was 102" so I had no problems seeing the back of the boat and the trailer from the fenders on aft.
We traveled at nite much of the time so a camera wouldn't show anything.
My camera does shows up good in the dark. I have a camera for a couple reasons. I tow a lot with my cover on the boat so I like to be able to keep an eye on the cover. Mainly I like the camera because I can see when I'm clear to get over in front of someone. I can see my fenders but with the overhang of the motor and prop you have to guess or run farther holding up traffic to make sure you're not cutting to close. It also makes it nice when hooking to the boat when doing it by myself. I know exactly when to stop and line up straight with the hitches.
Here's my view........
