CGRotorhead wrote:Ya my everyday driving was a pain with not being able to see when I was backing up. Especially during the night. Backing up to the trailer was such a frreaking pain, I would have to get out and check back up a bit and check again. Now its just back right up to it and drop it down. Money well spent

Sorry if I missed it, but what are the rated lumens on those?

The camera isn't mounted to the trailer it's mounted to my truck. Either way when I back the trailer up I will be using my tow mirrors and checking behind me. The camera makes backing up to and hooking up to the trailer a heck of a lot easier. I just back up till the red line is over the top of the tongue then lower it down onto the hitch

I get it.
I put a back-up camera in my 2007 Taco and swear by it. Not just for hitching up but for avoiding backing into sh@t. Having a camper shell is damn handy but sure blocks your vision.
Your build is looking great.
