Hi Everyone, I wanted to get some info from you about rear view cameras. I want to tow my side x side on a trailer behind my fiver and want to get a camera that will have viewing on all the time so I can keep an eye on what's going on back there. what are you guys using? thank you for your input.

Best price I could find in Canada was at costco.ca I bought a Rear View Safety from them for about $320, comes with a 7 in monitor. I got the wired model, but it also comes in wireless. They also sell a model with a quick disconnect plug that might work well for you. It seems pretty well built and the reviews are good. I am in the process of installing it in my class C, camera is in and cable is run, but have not yet hooked up to power and installed monitor so I can't tell you how it works. I'm waiting for the snow to melt so I can complete the job.You can wire these to come on automatically when switching to reverse, but you can also wire the reverse switch wire together with the power wire to have it on all the time. That's what I'm going to do so I can keep an eye on the dirt bikes or boat I sometimes tow.

We need a wireless that has over a 50' range. How does it mount? A lot are magnetic that don't work well on a fiberglass unit.

I bought a simple wireless unit at Sam's Club. I had to make a custom mount out of plastic. It's mounted above the license plate next to the license plate light. One with a 50 foot range might be hard to find. I extended the cable from camera to transmitter using shielded cable from Radio Shack. This way I could mount the transmitter in the front of the fifth wheel getting it within its 25 foot range.

try peak cameras at auto parts stores

Loulou, I bought the wired one. Go to costco's website, (costco.ca) and check out the wireless model, all the specs are there.

I use this system on mine.

Camera system

I set the monitor on a cigarette holding cup, in one of the 4 cup holders in the truck.

I let the wife monitor it as I don't want to be distracted by it.

Works excellent.

I have a write up on installing it in the truck here.

We tow a small trailer w/ two atv's and have this system....

It works very well and it sure is a comfort to be able to see your trailer.

Ryeguy check out the link below from Camping World pricy but works great more than covers the distance no interference as it connects digitally which means no interference.

I have had a wireless "Peak" rear view camera that is mounted by a spring clamp to my rear widow valance inside and I can monitor the traffic behind me and if I was towing something it would work well for that also. It has a 7" screen and works great. I ordered a extra 15 ft. cable so I could mount the transmitter in the front closet and have never had a problem with getting a image of the rear view. I've had this unit for about 4 years and still works perfect and have less than $150.00 invested.
I do not think it helps much for backing but sure is a good monitor for what is happening behind you.
