I went ahead and purchased the Garmin backup camera BC-30... as my Garmin 2597 is compatible with the camera. Best Buy on sale $149.99.
I have a fiberglass type of trailer body... mounted transmitter behind the left tail light... and camera above spare tire. wired so unit will work with running (tail) lights ON.
I am able to receive signal from the camera over 80 feet.. camera behind trailer and long bed truck with supercab... (truck not hitched to trailer)
you can not read license plates.. but can see a cat or a quart can easy, with the 2597 (5 inch) screen.
