If you are planning on using the REAR CAMERAs when going down the road they will not be good for you when it gets dark. The on-coming cars behind you will flash them up big time unless they are mounted real high up and pointig down at a good angle.
My Ford Truck came with one mounted in the tail gate and it is perfect for using to hook up my trailer but that is about all I can use it for...
Using one to aid you backing into a camping spot should be mounted on the trailer up high on the rear of it like this google photo shows

My 5th wheel trailer has two 9-inch scare lights mounted up high on the each side of my trailer and I can turn them on when backing into camping spots and it lights the area where I can see real good.
Mounting lights on the rear of some trailers will not let you pass safety inspections in some states...
