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.

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.
What's the distance from your cab to the back of the trailer, and how is the resolution? Sounds like a good option.
