Question:
I already have a backup camera on my 2014 Dodge RAM 1500 which I use to help me hook-up my 17foot travel trailer to my hitch. However, Id like to put your unit on the rear of my travel trailer to visualize backing up at campsites. Would this work?

The K-Source Vision System Backup Camera # KSVS-8 can be installed on the rear of a trailer with the rearview mirror monitor in the cab of your tow vehicle. You will need to create a way to connect the two together. One way to do so is to use part # RVS-213-613. You need to cut off each end of the cables to hardwire one end into the wiring of your trailer and the other into the wiring of your Ram.
Another option is to use the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit # RVS-770613-213 that includes all the necessary equipment to install the camera on the rear of a trailer. This will prevent the need to purchase an additional part and cut it to make it work.
