Am searching for an inexpensive (1-200$) system i can mount on rear of 24ft trlr. Prefer wireless(lazy) but if it demands I can hard wire just a pain. Any sound researched advice out there will be greatly appreciated.

I've owned a couple of wireless systems myself and did experiment with using each for a variety of views but concluded it's really only useful for hitching up. My first was a Peak wireless system that had to wired to the truck for power, the second was a wireless Swift Hitch SH02 analogue system that worked quite well and didn't require any wiring of any kind as the camera / transmitter and monitor were each self powered. Transmission was fine but I notice Swift Hitch now offers improved digital versions - regardless, I'd highly recommend the Swift Hitch system. I just sold it as my NTM Silverado has a built in camera I'll use for hitching up. JMO, but if you want a reliable system that will last for many years you're going to want to spend more than just $200 ... spend less and you'll eventually be back at this again. :R
