Rearview camera on highway
Hi, I'm looking for a rearview camera for the back of my 27' Travelstar 239TBS. I'm not looking for a hitch up camera, nor exclusively a backup camera but on that is always powered on while I'm driv...

New to GoodSam forum and the information/interaction is terrific. Thanks.
We (Wife and I) just purchased/installed (not a "techy" nor a huge "DIYr") a continuous-view, rear view camera (digital, wireless) for added safety while passing trucks (but useful for backing up-night time IR, monitoring the status of the bikes on our "1UPusa"-bike rear rack) but have only used it in our garage-driveway and not on the open highway (to test for any interference with multiple other digital/analog noise).
It establishes a digital, fixed-wireless, "hot spot" and we wanted to modify the camera/router mount/"power wiring" for our 20' long (collapsed while towing) Trailmanor. We placed the 12V powered Netgear router inside the rear of the TV, mounted the Sharx camera to the AC shroud and hardwired the camera power to the tongue battery pigtail (avoiding having to open/close the TT to begin/terminate power to the camera/router). Our distances (published range specs are far more generous) are modest (~8' from router to monitor-which is our own android base smart phone and camera to router ~17') though part of the beauty is using ones own smartphone (w/included app, free download) as the monitor to sit on the dash (sand bag mount similar to a Garmin GPS mount).
Interested folks may view the video (youtube) that was cited on one of the air stream forums a couple months ago.

(NOTE: customer resource/technical service is 10+ AND I have no personal nor financial relationship with this firm). Hope this helps.
