So I'm on the verge of buying my first travel trailer, a 27' R-Vision. Honestly, I'm a bit fearful of backing it. I have a fairly narrow gate to get through to the RV parking pad. And I live on a busy street and will have to back into my driveway, so I'd want to get in quick. And our favorite place to camp is all back-in sites, often on sharp curves, and I've seen others spend dozens of exasperating minutes shouting at their wives on walkies trying to get in. I'm just thinking a backup camera would be very helpful (as would a bit of parking lot practice, of course).
I drive an '08 Crewmax Limited which has a bu camera that displays on the nav, and I love it (except that I can't turn it on at will, but I know there's a hack for that). What I'd really like to do is get another bu camera and tie it into the system so that a flick of a switch in the cab would allow me to use one camera one moment and the other the next; tailgate cam as I'm hitching up, trailer cam for manuvering. Has anybody tried this? What kind of camera would you have to get (I assume 12vdc, NTSC). I would really prefer not to have to add another screen to my cab. And I have tried 2 wireless units in the past in my motorhome, and won't be wasting that money again. Thanks for any help!
