Swift Hitch wireless camera

Does anyone use one of these units with their camper? Especially one with the suction cup option.

We tow a horse trailer on almost every camping trip and hooking it up when you are alone is a real PIA!! Our rear door Northstar TC 650 is aluminum and plastic so the magnet on the camera won't stick to it.

A hard wired back up camera runs about $375 installed. The Swift Hitch, with the suction cup option is $220. Ours mirrors work fine and we really only need the camera for hooking up the horse trailer.

DIY for under $50. I have mine wired so it's on when the truck is on, not just for backup. Works perfectly, good picture, zero issues.

I know you aren't asking for other suggestions, but I use Hitchin' Rods. Fast, cheap, and they work every time.

I have and use a Swift Hitch and really like it. I use the suction cup because I have removed my tail-gate and have a full size shell/canopy with a back window.. (see my click on rig picture link below).

I can easily hook up without the help of my wife AND without running back and forth a bazillion times to get lined up perfectly to drop down on the ball. I usually am able to line up first time.

I have also used the Swift Hitch to inspect tight places that I can't see or get to at home and under the trailer like heating ducts and tight crawl spaces...it's a neat little gadget and it works as advertised.
