I was thinking of installing a backup camera to make a one man trailer hook up easier.
I was thinking of getting a wireless camera......and probably power it off the trailer connector.

Don't power off the trailer connect it off the trailer connector. Power it to the reverse bulb
I've done it SUPER easy
I was even thinking something comletely portable like this http://www.iballhitchcam.com/product...1#.Ut7MrrRMHIU
Anybody got one they really like?
I like that one. No hard wires !
Ive got one.it works great.its not the same as in the video, but does the same thing
What model is it Kosmo.......The more I researched the one in the video, there were a lot of bad reviews.Quote:

If you go with a wired one you have to deal with a secondary display all the time. Not that big of a pain but a noteworthy thought. The wired one I had ran the image to my radio head unit. It was an older truck so I just put in a radio with a built in display. You can get them for a little over a hundred bucks. Not sure what you are wanting to spend or how you feel about modifying your vehicle.
my wife bought it for me for christmas.i dont remember the name brand but she got it at walmart.its the wireless model.easy to install.i hooked it to backup light and put the wireless thingy behind the tail light assembly and i keep the monitor in the glove box until i need it.i just lay the monitor in the seat while using it.Quote:

Thanks for all the responses.
I bought the hitch guide that goes right on the hitch and I love it. It is not a camera but I can back up to any trailer and the ball stops right under the hitch everytime. It just attaches right under your ball. I dont have much room where I park my trailer and when I hook up I am in the street blocking traffic. With this it only takes a second. I got it at Bass Pro but would not be hard to have made.
I saw those when I was looking around.....They looked pretty interesting.Quote:
