Trailer reverse guidance & learning curve

Question

3 years I drove the truck with camper on it and only lately found option who was buried in menu that is very useful for camper loading.
Trailer reverse guidance is using side mirrors cameras to look back along the truck bed, what eliminates paralaxy error driver has looking at side mirrors.

Also the bed camera shows center lane on camper lower window.

There is 2nd camper in the rear, so ignore it, look like cameras show camper legs comparing to truck fenders. Amazing, simply amazing.

Well don't feel like a dope, you figured it out-I needed you to tell me!! Now I will admit I had figured out the center line and added two strips of orange tape on the camper and place the black dotted line between the two strips of high vis tape.

Course my other "stupid" recent learning was dropping the camper an inch or two per side to square it in the bed as opposed to driving forward and squaring up the truck.

THANK YOU for sharing.

BRHolt, my truck is a 17F350 with those cameras.

The truck has blind spots warning that you can adjust for trailer (camper) length, but unfortunately camper wings cover the radars. Sorry for the glares, in few days I try to take cleaner picture.
