I consider rear observation cameras unnecessary as well. I consider them more as a distraction vs. a necessity.
I actually installed a rear camera but I never use it while driving. I am comfortable just using my mirrors.
I don't really need to see who or what is behind my trailer as I travel down the road. I'm concerned with what is in front of me not what is behind me.
I am fine changing lanes with my mirrors.
I do agree rear cameras can be useful when backing up but are not as beneficial when driving forward.
I have a Garmin BC-20 camera that displays on my GPS screen. I occasionally use it when backing up. I have had it for a few years now and don't consider it a must have feature
If the RV is prewired it maybe worthwhile to install the camera simply because it's easy to do, however I would not go through the trouble to install a rear camera from scratch.
