My wife and I just bought a new travel trailer. We have a dodge ram 2500 with a connect 5.0 radio. I was wanting to get a backup camera for the truck and the camper. The camper would be a wireless blue-tooth, I assume. Does anyone have a similar set up because I got to thinking that when you put the truck in reverse the truck backup camera would take precedent over the trailer backup, defeating the purpose.
Hate to pour cold water, but I have been trying to get a rear view camera work on my 5th wheel for about 6 years now. Vibration (I guess) keeps killing the camera. After replacing the camera and having it die within a couple years, I have given up on the idea.
Wireless will be expensive for a good system. I decided on a wired system and bought the following from Amazon. Affordable and you can turn on the monitor whenever you want. Good for when you want to see behind you while on the road, especially when passing a slow vehicle so you can see that you are safely ahead. You just unplug the wires when you land at camp and unhook the RV. I ran the wires from a mounted camera (on my rear ladder) under the trailer and zip tied them to the front of the trailer. Everything is mobile and can be temporary or permanent as you want. Good luck
