Towing w/out rear camera
Occasionaly tow our 17' Classic Whaler, or a Boy Scout trailer behind the TC. Currently do NOT have a camera back there. Am not comfortable not being able to see what is going on... Are there many ...

I installed a Walmart wireless camera on my wifes car. I have nothing to nice to say about the camera or its use. It is unbelieveable how many wires were required to install a wireless camera. The camera would go nuts for no obvious reason, and all you would see was snow. I then did some research on wireless Cameras, and discovered what I experienced was very common with wireless cameras, especially the cheap ones.

I had exactly the opposite results with my walmart wireless camera. mine had two wires to connect for both the camera and the receiver/viewer, one plus and one neg for each. what extra wires did your have? yes, if you want to wire it as a back up camera, you have to locate/fish the right wires to the camera but it is still just two wires. I would NOT recommend one if you want an excellent picture however. but IIRC the OP just wanted something to check on his tow. a walmart $69 special is certainly adequate for that. mine rarely went "nuts" or "snowed". you should have returned your original one as walmart has a good return policy.
yes, if you have a motorhome and want an excellent rear/side view system, the walmart one is not for you. if all you want is to watch a small trailer/boat/etc. to see if it has disappeared, it is adequate.
yes a $700 system will be more useful than a $69 system. :)
