I just ordered and received a backup camera system (56-LCD-BLK) from rvcams.com and it looks real good. Including shipping, I paid less then $500 for the whole thing.
My question concerns the connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle. Tim at RV Cam supplied me with their heavy-duty disconnect kit which is a heavy coiled cable which plugs into a plug on the trailer and the truck. The spring action in the coil will keep it kind of tight. I think this system is an excellent way to handle a travel trailer, but for a 5th wheel, wouldn't it be better to hardwire it to the trailer and run a cable that could be tie wrapped to the existing cable that plugs into the truck, mounting a separate plug beside the plug for the lights etc.
For those of you that have a backup camera installed, how did you handle that part of the install?
