An observation camera is like using a rear view mirror. I don't know of anyone that doesn't want to know what is directly behind them when traveling down the road. Knowing if someone is tailgating in your blind spot behind the TT can aid in preventing an accident. Can't tell you how many times, though my directional is on, that someone tailgating in the blind spot, decides to go around me just as I change lanes.
Now for backing up into a campsite. Let's just say my wife doesn't have to get out of the truck to spot me. Backing up with a camera is a marriage saver, and makes the camp trip less stressful for me...and the wife. You may need to practice a few times with a spotter to learn and gain confidence using it, but it is well worth the cost.
I agree with this. Sure you can live w/o it but it really makes life easier for both of these cases. Are your AC, radio, cruise control, automatic transmission, etc. really necessary?
We had a Garmin BC20 backup camera on our last TT and it was really useful because you could adjust the length, width and tilt of the guide lines. So it ended up representing our TT width exactly and reflecting exactly where you would go when you backed up. If you used a properly adjusted one, you’d be hooked.
