Towing question

I would do the rear camera. I wired mine to the front and can switch
it off and on as I want. I pull a boat, and can see it and all
traffic behind me. Great for backing also.

I second the fresnel lens on the rear window, if you have one that you can see from the inside mirror. We did that, it's great, for under $15.

You can get a camera that stays on when you want it on.

Wider mirrors are going to be pretty darn wide, which might be a problem now and then. For backing up, there are extension mirrors which mount temporarily with suction cups. I haven't used them though.

Thanks for the input...getting a brake installer put on at UHaul tomorrow, will check out what they have for mirrors...
my understanding is that the cameras are only for being able to see the hitch for hooking up...that you can't leave them on FULL TIME for viewing behind you...I have towed many trailers and our 5thwheel but for some reason I don't feel comfortable with this set up...the body of the trail lite is wider than the chassis and the trailer is 8 1/2 feet wide..I don't feel like I can see anything behind me....maybe I jest need to practice...will get plenty of that we leave in a couple of days from NY to Texas...wish me luch...

Camera AND extended mirrors.

This would give an EXCELLENT view of the front of the trailer, but not much else.

whoops, wrong topic

If at all possible, go with a rear camera.

You might consider a wireless camera.
