Questions about Cargo Trailers behind RV
About to go on an extended cross country road trip. It will be just me and the DW. We'll be driving our 1998 26' lazy daze class c. Rv runs well and only the usual trivial things that happen with rv's...

Re: back-up camera. You mentioned mounting in the hitch area. I think it would be better near the roof of your MH. Up high you can see the top of the trailer and its easier to line up. Also you can see traffic over the top.
If not included, I would get a removable wheel for the hitch jack. It will make hitching up easier. Bring the trailer to the MH, not MH to the trailer. Make sure you remove the wheel and crank the jack all the way up or you will bend or break it on the first driveway!
I've already got a backup camera mounted above the back window on the MH I can see both sides plus the hitch with it, but is blocked from seeing behind when the trailer is attached. Been thinking of the garmin wireless backup camera that connects with the gps unit on the dash. Assuming it works through all that metal, could mount it between the clearance lights on top of the trailer. Probably power it that way, although I'd have to have the lights on when ever I needed to use it.
Trailer came with a 6" wheel to attach to the bottom of the jack. I used to have a 17' ski boat, so I'm assuming that this thing won't be any more difficult to hook up than the boat was.
