IBall Hitch Camera - Anyone using one?
Backing trailer onto hitch is always a two person job. I did put a little backup eye in the handle on my tailgate. It will get my close to lining up but not close enough without me jumping in and out...

I'm a newby to driving a full size pickup truck (Man! They're making 'em big these days!) I'm also a newby to RVing. I had a camera put in the tailgate handle of my truck. First I wanted to be able to avoid backing over the neighbors kids, then I realised how good it is for hitching the trailer. It's taken practice but I've gotten better and better. I only have to get out once or twice for a GOAL - more if I'm backing at an angle. Since I'll be traveling alone I thought I could use all the help I could get.
I'm sorry I can't tell you what brand I got. I had it installed at an audio specialist shop. The view has the hitch ball at the bottom center of the screen and the ends of the bumper are just at the side edges of the screen. I can tell you that the camera doesn't pick up everything you could hit while backing in a really tight curve. You can also see if you're about to jackknife the trailer while trying to park it.
