Best 2015 Ram 3500 Backup Cameras

This was a pretty good back up camera. The magnetic base was helpful in keeping it in place. The screen was fairly clear but occasionally had some interference which caused lines across the screen. Sadly it was stolen recently.

Worked exactly as advertised, My first attempt to hook up to trailer went perfect. There was some distortion in the picture when the truck first started, but it cleared up pretty quickly. I Can't speak to battery life or product longevity since I just purchased, but hopefully will get good service from the device.

Easy to use, good picture.

The camera worked perfectly the first time. I used it but two days later, nothing. The battery was dead. Next time, same thing. I made sure it was powered off and I even removed battery. Reinstalled battery, powered on and only got still shot of myself. Placed it on tailgate and nothing at all. By the instructions I have done everything correctly. Not working for me at all.

Rather simple installation. Definitely has a wide clear range of view behind the RV. I can see how the lights might be a nuisance to drivers behind a moving rig if left on.

Didn't work as promised, led light always came on annoying people following, Suburban towing 24' trailer didn't work. Tried contacting Hoppkins no reply. I would not recommend, as a rear view camera ok just remember to turn off led lights as if your actually using it you will as when there on it is almost unusable.

I would have given this a higher score if it were not for the lack of decent instructions or how the mirror actually works, Secondly, I don't like the fuse placement on the mirror, I will splice it out and add it somewhere else that is accessible. I do like the fact you can connect 3 cameras, again, no instructions how the mirror switches between the two. After testing, when a camera is powered, the screen show that particular camera. I will be adding the cargo cam and an additional front cam to my aux switches so I have control over them. Also, the cargo cam is 620 lines, as advertised but no specs on the mirror monitor. After receiving the item, the mirror only produces 480 lines. Not deal breaker as the picture quality is good for a 4.3" screen. Haven't installed yet, but did bench test on the cargo cam as well as an additional cam I purchased. Works flawlessly. Overall, not a bad product, just need some more info/instructions and options for the mirror fuse.

Every thing in the kit look like good stuff haven't installed yet.

I often have to hitch my 30 foot gooseneck trailer alone and the Swift Hitch is an awesome tool. It's quick and easy to do a once aggravating chore.

The signal from the camera drops off when the receiver is more than 3-5 feet from the camera. Will be returning it.

I installed this in an F150 and 19ft trailer combination. The install went reasonably easily, after I had worked out how to route the wiring. In general the item works ok but my main issue is how difficult it is to navigate the software that controls the image. It appears that the brightness setting is set too low out of the box, so in bright conditions (when the sun is out), it is not easy to see what is on the screen. Trying to adjust brightness has been almost impossible. The remote is not always making a connection with the unit and there appears to be no way to make adjustments without the remote. Do you have contact info for the manufacturer, or perhaps you've had previous feedback about this? Thanks.

I installed a backup camera on my 40' 5th wheel travel trailer. LOVE it! Dialed in the guidelines, flipped the image to mirror view and can nail the tight parking spaces like a professional. Lets me keep an eye on the bikes on the bike rack too. The night vision feature is great. The microphone/speaker works well when I need a real person spotting (which is almost never now). Now my wife can just talk to me, no more yelling. Installation wasn't too difficult as the cable fit behind the weather strip along the corners of the coach. If you want to know what's in the blind spot behind you, good choice here. And the monitor has 2 more video connections to use too. Might add a hookup camera next. Anyway, buy it.

Image only covers 1/2 the mirror & is too small to see any details

Hard to see in bright sun other than that easy to install

I am very happy with it.

This was fairly easy to install. Works great for lining up on our fifth wheel trailer hitch.

Was easy to install and the quality of the picture was rather surprising. Very clear and bright. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to ease the hookup for a Fifth Wheel with a goose neck adapter.

Reception range is better than stated. We have an extended cab F350, pulling a 3-horse, slant-load gooseneck. We did not need to use the coax cable for the rear camera, the signal / reception at the monitor in the cab was just fine from the camera's antenna. Connection times between the display and the cameras are reasonable. The display is a bit dim in daylight but viewing from the cab is ok. Battery life appears to be good. Initial setup was quite simple, really nothing had to be done except turn on the cammeras and the monitor, and everything linked up automatically. All in all, a good system.

The first unit I received was defective (screen was too dark to be useful) but was replaced without any problems by etrailer. Great and helpful customer service, impressive!

The camera is of high quality, as is the rearview mirror and monitor. I did have to return the first mirror because the bracket didn't match my 2013 Ram 1500's windshield mount, even though it was listed as a universal fit. The Ram has a triangular type fitting. I tapped into the reverse light wiring for power. l ended up having to replace the incandescent reverse light bulbs with LED bulbs because the monitor image flickered badly until I installed the LEDs. I think this was because the BCM (Body Control Module) got confused with the additional power draw. Since then the camera and monitor have worked flawlessly. It provides a great view behind the truck, even at night. Because of the placement on the bumper it doesn't have a good view of the hitch ball, but I don't tow very often. Overall I have been very pleased and feel that the camera is well worth the price.

Outstanding parts knowledge and a high quality products!

Easy install, and fits perfectly on my 2015 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 DRW.

There was a missing clip necessary to activate the brake lights.

The quality of the parts seem good but the directions to install everything were horrible (essentially none existent) and I had to go to [online] to figure out how to remove my factory mirror for the new mirror install and the wiring I figured out by trial and error. The camera kit should have included longer screws to replace the stock screws on the F250 brake light. The order was delayed about a month due to supply chain shortages. Once I got got it all together it works well, just disappointed in the instructions and should have provided replacement screws.

The directions are poor at best. You have to figure it out on your own, which isn't a real big problem, but some additional information would be nice. The bezel for the camera is nice, but doesn't fit 100%. Its close enough, but you have to play with it a little. Additionally, I'm not sure why the camera has a 6' cable, then there is a REQUIRED 24' cable to then connect to another 6' cable to the mirror. I'm wanting to install the mirror in my truck, not the truck in front of me. I don't need 36' of cable, its a Crew Cab, not a buss. So it means you have ALOT of cable to stash. Also, other than changing the brightness, I have no idea what the POWER button on the mirror does. I wired to a switched power source figuring I could just press the power button to turn the monitor on and off. Guess what.. you can't. It is ON. To have this work right, you'd have to figure out a way to wire it to the reverse light switch. And once you find this issue (despite the item description clearly stating the power button can be used to turn it on and off), good luck getting help from etrailer. Was told I would be contacted by someone from technical support days ago... its been crickets. It also sucks the mirror is autodiming, despite what looks like light sensors front and rear, it does not dim (only found that mentioned in the two page "manual/install guide".

Exactly what I needed for our venerable 2003 Jayco travel trailer. 3D printed a very neat unit that holds the display and fits into a “sunglasses pocket” on the top of the dashboard of our Chevy Colorado pickup.

superior upgrade for us. would have been 5 star but the installation and usage instructions are almost worthless. 8^)

My wife rode with a friend for lunch who had a new car with a back-up camera. She was really impressed and was talking about buying a new car to replace her 2011 Ford Escape that would have the backup camera. I found a video showing how to install the camera on an Escape by etrailer. I was impressed by the company and bought a unit. It arrived quickly and I was able to install it following the instructions I had watched. It took me a couple of hours to install, the hardest part being fishing the cables to the rear of the car. Once installed it worked great. My wife is very, very happy with the install. She says she is much more confident in parking her car. Thanks a lot. I would, and do recommend etrailer and the back up camera kit.

im very pleased with the product (camera & rear view mirror) takes a little work to get the cables run through your vehicle (f150) and finding a good power source (my problem) had one issue with a cable mfg took care of it over all had it installed for 1 year very happy got it manly for conecting to our travel trailer but use it all the time now

I just recently purchased and installed the hopkins camera HM60195VA and say I love it. It's an easy install for my dodge challenger and helps out beyond words when backing up. The install only took about an hour and if your not really looking you can't tell there is a camera there. The wiring was simple and plenty long enough and the monitor looks like it belongs there. I highly recommend this set up.

Works great, especially for hooking up my trailer. Was a easy install, good instructions. The only thing I needed extra was zip ties for attaching the cable to the frame. Installed it on a 2000 Ford, F-150 Harley Davidson edition.
