I am attempting to get my dad a gift. He has a 2013 silverado 2500 and a 26' travel trailer (both new). I would like to install a dual camera back up system for him using 1 monitor. I would like to use the tailgate handle camera for the truck. This camera can have a hard wire video cable. The 2nd camera will be on back of the TT. I can get power from the TT itself but i dont want it to be video hard wired. I just want the 7 pin connector to be only connection which is why i would like the TT camera to be wireless video. His old RV had a single wireless video camera but this dual setup is challenging my google skills. Thanks in advance for any ideas

It has a box that has 3 inputs; I use one for the camera on the back of the tow vehicle, and another input for the camera I have on the trailer. As long as the wireless system has a video output, it could be cabled into the box. Mine are both wired - I have not had good luck with wireless cameras over the distance to the rear of my little 17' trailer so I wouldn't count on finding one that works on a 26' one.I checked their website & it looks like they are using a different system - I bought mine 4 years ago. You might give them a call; their tech support is quite knowledgable...

slw206,Check out the folks at CubbyCam. They are very knowledgeable and may be able to put together a package that works for you.Good luck and Merry Christmas!Craig

What is the reason for the aft mounted camera to be wireless? I'm planning a similar system and have found there are a few good reasons to hard-wire it all.A Forum member clued me in to buy the individual components at a considerable savings. I can PM you the list if you're interested.

I just helped a friend install a camera on the rear of his 26' trailer. It does not have a reliable wireless signal to the monitor in his F-150. I use a wired system from my trailer rear view camera; just 1 coax to connect besides the regular trailer connector.

Another option is to run a wire to the front of the trailer and then use a video transmitter. The receiver could be hidden in the back of the tow vehicle. I hear the 2.4 Ghz transmitters get a lot of interference but the 5 Ghz ones don't. I already have a hard wired camera and I'm thinking of this setup to eliminate the extra step of (dis)connecting the video cable.
