Rear view camera install
Does anyone have good pics of their aftermarket rear camera install?

Don't have pics of the install, but, here are pictures of all of the materials, with exception of a few adapters, and a power plug.
For the power plug, I went to Radio Shack and bought a cord for plugging into a power outlet on my dash. Instead of having the camera working while I'm in reverse, I have it running anytime the truck is running. The monitor works just like the rear view mirror.
Here's a picture of the cameras, I used.
Here is a picture of the monitor.
Here is a picture of the type of cables,I used.
I installed cameras on my travel trailer and truck camper, and I have a third camera that I set on the bumper for hitching up. Hitching up alone, is a breeze.
The monitor clips on over my rear view mirror.
On the trailer, I fastened PVC pipe to the underbelly, and run the cable through the pipe.
I wired the truck, trailer, and truck camper seperately. Which ever camper I am using, I just plug the cables together. Same with the hitch up camera.
If you use your camera as I do (while truck is running), mount it up high as you can, and angle it down. If it is mounted low and pointing straight back, you'll get a lot of glare from the sun, or headlights coming up behind you.
