Back up camera for hitching to my TT ??
When my ATV is loaded in back of the truck, I can't see anything. I'm usually alone when attempting hook up jumping back and forth trying to get distance & center. I am totally clueless as to what...

I have an aftermarket camera that mounts the same way the OEM one would on the Tundra. It is AMAZING. I can be surgical when I back up. Hooking up to the trailer is very simple. I was at the lake 3 years ago and 2 old guys were watching me back up to the hitch, they were STUNNED when I backed up perfectly the first time.
After I dropped the trailer and was putting on the WDH bars one of them came up to me. They were both retired truckers and were amazed at how good this "kid" backed up. I wanted to just take the compliment and drive away, but I had to fess up to the camera.
I would suggest you get one that mounts up higher and looks DOWN upon the hitch ball. My FIL has the iball camera and seems to like it. Its magnetic, so he slaps it on the tailgate of the truck or the jack of the trailer and looks down upon it. Hitches up easy.
The iball is wireless and magnetic. Really easy to toss on the truck when you need it and throw it in the glove box when you don't. I've been meaning to borrow it from him and try putting it on the back of the camper so I can see behind me when backing into a site. Haven't remembered to ask yet.
