I went thru this with my BC-30 2 months ago. power is from the tail light. camera mounted below rear window of trailer.. about 7 feet high.
trailer is 30 feet fiberglass type.. not metal.
worked poorly.. and screen refresh was very slow.
needed to get the 50 foot extension cable ($30.00).. mounted transmitter under the propane tank cover. and power again is from tail light wires near front battery area. camera itself was NOT moved.
worked very well and refresh is fast.
and Garmin is mounted on top of dashboard.. both the 2597LMT and 770LMTHD units.
truck is F 250 supercab long bed.
sounds exactly like what I did. works perfect. In fact that is why garmin has the extension cable. get the transmitter right near the tow vehicle.
