Looking for a wireless back up camera

It is not uncommon when we camp close to home that I take the camper out myself and set up and then later on the wife and kids show up. As always the first thing I do is be very mindful of my surroundings. Looking at the site very well when I first get there to be sure it is ok to back into. I check for the usual - low limbs - kids playing - anything left behind from previous campers - you know just the basic things you should be looking out for. So I get back into the truck and start to back my unit into place and then I get that feeling that maybe I overlooked something. So I get out about halfway through the process just to be sure all is ok. I was just thinking if I had a wireless camera I could set on the bumper this would help ease my mind of what's going on behind me. Looking for something inexpensive but good quality. Anyone else tried this. Thanks for any info.:):@
  • Ordered 27-5L Arctic Fox with wireless ASA Voyager backup camera....about $700 option. Watched video and read reviews.....can't wait to get the rig and put it to use!
  • I've been thinking about getting the iball hitch cam. Gets decent reviews on Amazon.

  • Same here on the Voyager. You wire it into the clearance lights, so lights have to be on for it to work, but the signal is good in the TV and the screen is good. We got the standard screen size. Yes, it's a little on the spendy side but it works.
  • We added the Voyager rear camera....it was just under a $1,000.... and does work very well.
  • We use a Voyager...don't know the cost as it was an option when we had our coach built...but it works great! Even has sound if some is behind the coach helping...
  • Mine isn't wireless but I put a $190 system on the back of my cab so I can see the hitch and hoped it would be good to see beyond the back of the truck. I can see but the picture is washed out by sunlight and hard to make out. I added a shade over the camera and it still sucks but it gets by... barely. I don't think inexpensive/good quality is going to happen especially if you want wireless. Craig
