I made my own system. I bought a WIFI video transmitter and a simple camera and use an old cell phone as the monitor. I mounted the camera to the rear of the trailer and run RCA cables up the frame towards the front of the trailer. I mounted the WIFI transmitter to the front of the trailer to beam the WIFI signal up to my cell phone, mounted in the cab.
Spent about $80 for the transmitter, camera and wires. I still need to tweak the system a little bit. My WIFI transmitter is currently mounted about 15 feet behind the truck and I would occasionally get a little bit of lag while running down the road. I'm planning to add another 15' of RCA cable and mounting the transmitter up by the battery box to get a closer, cleaner and stronger WIFI signal.
For simply backing up in an RV site though, it works great.
