The wife is out of town, so I was able to play this evening. I bought a cheap wifi backup camera on e-bay for about $30. I also bought a plastic electronics enclosure for $5. It's about the size of a deck of cards. I attached the camera itself to the bottom of the enclosure (box), and put the wifi module in the box. Drilled holes in the box for the antenna and the wires. I used heavy duty adhesive tape to mount the box just below the center clearance light. I spliced the power for the camera to the light wires, and sealed it all up. No news holes in the trailer. Rear view camera for under $50. It connects to my phone as a wifi hotspot. I'll probably buy a cheap mini tablet as a dedicated monitor. I would take a picture, but it's just a little black box on the back of the trailer. Not really picture worthy.
