Looking at the laser method I can see it works well IF:
-you have long pad to straight the truck at the distance
-pad if flat
-you don't have too bright sun.
But looking at the end, they install camera at low point in rear truck window.
I do have the factory camera on top of the window, what is basically unusable. I can only see in it if the camper is high enough to clear truck floor.
Now mowing that camera to the bottom of the window would make it much more useable.
Anybody tried that?
On the 2nd tough the factory camera has very wide angle what doesn't show well with distance, so maybe adding aftermarket would be better idea.
Than you can make idle pointer few inches in front of the camera to line up with dark dots on the camper?
