No tailgate = no camera.
Correct...I have no factory nav or backup camera and no tailgate. Thus a new head unit with navigation and backup screen with a new wired camera mounted either to the camper or rear bumper.
Or get a license plate camera like this:
TaoTronics TT-CC17.
Mine is hard-wired. I bought 2 4-flat trailer wire combo male+female connectors from Walmart and built a 3 1/2 foot extension cord for when the camper is on. When it is off I remove the extension cord. It's all custom wired with 2 wires going to power and 2 to video, and the connectors are waterproof. The camera is activated via the reverse light, but also wired into an accessory switch so it can be manually turned on via an upfitter switch in the cab. There is a 60V 5A diode between the backup light and the switch so power does not feed back into the light when the switch is turned on.
