Has anyone mounted a back up camera on their truck then move it to the TC when loaded? Thanks Ron

Any plug and play cameras for a 2019 Ford F 350 that I can mount by the rear license plate?

As tailgate will be off.

Thx.

I mounted two cameras on the camper neither is for loading / unloading the camper. One if for my stock back up camera system which I got from the Camera source listed above. The second I bought so that I can see my SXS trailer when it is behind my camper going down the road. Both are hard wired cameras and the review camera to see the SXS has isnโ€™t own 7โ€ screen I set on the console in the cab.
I painted a white line in the middle of the rubber mat in the box of the truck and put a thick black felt pen line in the middle front of the camper to align up with the white paint mark on the rubber mat. Itโ€™s works great until about the wheel wells, then your on your own, but you are 1/2 loaded by then.

Only cam I have is on the back of the TC. I painted a 1" wide red stripe in the middle of the camper and I use that to align the unit in the truck. My back window opens and the seam (when closed) is dead center so I just align the red stripe with the window seal seam and it right on the beans.

I bought a license plate mounted camera from camera source that uses the oem tailgate harness and the screen on the dash and it works well and I don't have to change anything with the tailgate on or off however with the TC loaded the license plate mounted camera is partly blocked so I bought a midrange wireless unit that works well and is mounted on the TC and also powered by the house batteries on the TC I should have gone with the wireless set up first but this setup works for us.

Thanks for the reply's. I figured I was going to get a second camera for the TC. Just got the camera so I have not wired anything yet. Sitting here in Alabama in the TC waiting for Hurricane Michael to go by then into Florida. Lots of time to think about things like back up cameras. Ron

I use a http://www.camera-source.com camera. They sell adapters for OEM setups. That allows me unplug the tailgate and plug in the camera on the TC.

I bought a wired backup camera for my 5th wheel with a monitor and long cable. I bought a 2nd camera for the TC and use the same cable and monitor. Works great. Bought from Amazon. All I have to do is run the cable from the truck into the bed then under the TC and up to the camera. Takes all of 2 minutes and the reception is great compared to the wireless ones.
