Outrun your rear camera?

[drillagent]

So, DW and I went to the Midwest RV Show in Kansas City yesterday and stopped by a booth run by one of the local vehicle mod shops. They said they could definitely install a new Titan fuel tank in my tow vehicle, but I would have to call for pricing. While I was at it, I asked if they could install a wireless rear view camera into my 5er. The gentleman there said they could, but they prefer to install wired cameras because at highway speeds there is the tendency to "outrun the wireless signal". ???? Is that even possible? I'm no physics guru, but I thought radio waves traveled at the speed of light? Has anyone ever heard of this before or had it happen to them?

Probably a metaphor to explain mixed results. We have a 28 foot Class C (non metallic walls) and I tried a wireless camera. I just gave up on it because of poor reception (from tail light area to the cab).

I haven't seen many positive reports of wireless rear cameras on a 5er. "Outrunnin" the signal doesn't make sense to me, but there really isn't line of sight, which would be my guess as to why they have trouble with reception.

I guess it's possible if your towing very, very fast LOL!
FWIW, I have terrible luck with wireless cams working just on the back of my truck. Once I installed a wired cam (Rostra) I never had a problem again.
