We have the color system and it has revolutionized my hookup process. I stick the magnetic camera on top and slightly in front of the of the truck hitch ball and can back up and connect the hitch my myself. I painted the RV receiver white to make it more visible on the camera. Orange might be better. Glare can make this harder.
Be aware that the camera battery only has a six hour life, it has an external battery pack that extends that. But you have to remember to take those off and recharge them every night.
Also the camera and battery fell off the steel plate once and broke the antenna. That made me leery of leaving them attached. I'm say they need some more secure attachment, a lanyard maybe.
But all in all I'm happy with the system just for the hookups.
