As I was driving down the road watching my rearview camera

Wireless? You can mount another camera on the back of the Jeep.

That's an idea. At 65' I'd probably have to have a relay unit in the rear closet to get the signal forward but that's probably easier than changing out the current monitor and camera.

Bill and

I installed a two camera system on the rear of our coach to replace the failed OEM setup. Both cameras are mounted high with one aimed to show the view from about the center of the toad hood back to infinity. The other camera is aimed down to show the view from the rear bumper of the coach back to the bottom of the toad windshield. Besides checking on the tow hookup while underway, the close view camera is very handy when backing into tight quarters, as well as for making sure no one has walked behind the coach before backing.

M camera has a tilt feature that I can control from the dash. I can tilt it up to look over the toad or down to look directly at the tow bar. It is the Voyager system.

There are many cameras out there. I got a "Rear View' Camera from Wish.com (Read note) that I plan to add to this Rig eventually... I need blind spot cameras since I have no co-pilot.

The note:
Wish does not actually stock or sell anyhting. they are a brokerage,, Some of their vendors ship promptly.. Some are much slower (Up to 2 months) and from what others have said some don't ship.. Wish will do a follow up on items that ship slow and does offer a refund.. The last time I choose "I'll wait" it arrived the next day :) But even that "has it arrived yet" e-mail was 2 months in coming.

Second rear camera is on my do list. My first choice is to hack into existing car rear camera and bring video signal to dash in coax all the way. Second choice is to just add another camera. In either case there will be a dedicated seven inch monitor. Safe lane changes in heavy traffic is my objective

Driving down the road watching my rear view camera? Please don't do that. Very dangerous. there is a reason most factory rear view cameras shut off when the trans is put in forward.

A good wireless camera would get a good signal without a relay.
The vid should be clear. 65ft is not that long for a good wireless cam, even within the body of a vehicle.

Never heard of that before - mine doesn't.

My rear camera is always on also unless I physically turn it off. When off, it only comes on when I put the coach in reverse.
