Rear view camera
By definition, it's not a back-up camera I'm looking for, but I do want to use it as I'm backing up to the 5er. What I would prefer is a battery powered camera I can temporarily, magnetically attach ...

Update on the Type S
Took the rig out down to the Texas Coast this past week, and used the camera for the first time.
Previously had said I thought I needed to velcro the bottom of the camera to the trailer, but- not necessary. Just needed to tighten the nuts all the way on the plate, and it was fine.
Camera worked fine. Biggest benefit is seeing who's behind you before you change lanes. Didn't really use it for backing up. I trust my side mirrors and me poking my head out the window more than looking at a camera. Just a matter of me getting used to the camera view and what I'm really looking at I think, but even then...may still prefer not using it when backing. If anything, I may use it as another data point when backing, along with mirrors and "head poking".
