Questions on installing a backup camera on a fifth wheel
Has anyone installed a backup camera on their fifth wheel? My truck's tailgate camera is obviously useless with my tailgate off when I'm towing so I've been looking into other options.

Hi, I have installed a full 4 camera system on my fifth. Excellent equipment, service and price from innotechrv.com.
My system consists a dual rear camera (1 wide angle that looks immediately down behind the fifth wheel and a narrower camera that can see who is coming up behind on the highway). The other two are side cameras so I can watch for tail swing and when backing into a site. This is a fully wired system with trailer connection kit to the truck but they also have wireless systems if wiring is a problem for you.
A friend has a 3-cam setup on his 40' Newmar. 1 on the extreme rear and one on each side, just behind the frame drop, and looking back. He keeps a 10" triple-screen up at all times, but can go to a single view with a touch. All hard-wired. The side cams are in little nacelles he painted to match the coach and you almost don't know they're there.
