I got a wired one .... I had read too many mixed review about the wireless ones.
Here is a link to the one I got. LINK
A couple things I like about this one is that it will take 3 inputs. I am going to add another at the bumper for assistance in hooking up the boat.....The other thing is that the power to the camera comes thru the cable ... on the camera that comes with it. There is a lead on the multiplexer connection that power the camera...So you can control the power from the cab of the truck instead of wiring it into running or backup lights. I just bought a cigarette lighter adapter that has a power switch on it and can light up the monitor and camera at the push of a button.
I am going to put a cheap license plate type camera for the other one and will probably power it from the backup lights.
I was a real PITA to run the wire on my camper, but it turned that when I pulled the bottom off the camper to get the wire thru I found a cross brace holding up the fresh water tank that was sagging badly .... So I reinforced it while I was at it and probably save a future disaster.ICamel wrote:

Finished installation of my rear view camera and pulled the boat behind it for the first time..... being able to see everything going on back there with the camera is NICE. - BedlamModerator

Put fore sale sign on it.
Did that two years ago, I regretted for a year or so. I now have a class A and if I ever go back to TC it will be a big one.
We're selling ours and going big... We cannot stop camping in ours to put it up for sale - Still have a week and a weekend booked with our AF811. - KidooExplorer

- ggadwaExplorerGetting ready to depart for 20 days to Colorado mountains and National Parks on Tuesday. Thoroughly cleaned the Eagle Cap Camper and installed a Jensen JWM6A AM/FM Stereo/CD/DVD player, and an HDMI connector in case we decide to get a TV.....So far have avoided TV in the Camper. Excited about the Jensen JWM6A as it has a sleep timer, which should be a real plus for us.
