REAR view License plate cameras??
Looking at putting a camera on the back of the truck (Kenwood Deck with Video inputs), and was wondering if the cameras that mount on the license plate will be able to see the ball on the hitch?

The answer depends on where the camera (And license plate) is mounted.
However you may be able to mount the camera in a place other than the license plate.
The issue with sun washout.. Again that can be dealt with by "hooding" the camera, if the sun is at an angle to shine UNDER the hood, the trailer will block it.
The issue of it only working when in reverse... You can take care of that too, there is a wire that goes to the backup light circuit, route it to a toggle switch fed by a fused battery (or accessory) lead.
In short, there are ways around each and every issue.
