I have the Tadibrothers digital wireless excellent image day or night. I have it set to always on so that I have no blind spots while driving in traffic. Set up is super easy.

… I got a cheap wireless Chinese one from Amazon, wired it to a running light for power ( I drive with running lights on ) and use my iPad for viewing…. No issues, does what it is supposed to for low cost….

I used a commercial camera from Camera Source and a cable that plugs into the receptacle for my tailgate camera. I installed 2 rivnuts in the aluminum bumper of my Arctic Fox and fastened the camera to the bumper.

can you post a link to the one you have?

I was thinking about buying a second factory ford back up cam and just plugging it in when I unplug the one and take my tail gate off, just trying to figure out how to mount it properly.

Gone through a couple wired to running lights like Flyboy. Some have worked some needed to be returned. Current one has good range through TT and has lasted two years so far.

Does your current truck have a back up camera in the tailgate.

The cheap ones would not make it from the back of the 30-foot TT to the front of the truck. And one of the cheap ones I tried kept failing due to water intrusion into the camera.
