A lot of it really just depends on what you are looking for in a camera. Some people just want one while they are backing up while others would like to use it for observation. Hardwired vs Wireless is another variable as well.

One of the most popular backup cameras that we have comes from Rear View Safety with part # RVS-770613-213. This is a hardwired option that comes with a 66 foot cable for the trailer so it will have no problem running the length of your trailer. It also comes with a 7 inch LCD monitor that you can connect other cameras to or even a DVD player. Rear View Safety is one of the best backup camera manufacturers that we currently carry so anything from them is going to be great quality.

Some people like to use their smart device in the place of a monitor. If you would rather do that you can use the Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System # RVS-83112-WIFI. The camera has a rechargeable battery and connects to your smart device via a WiFi signal that is created between the two that reaches up to 50 feet. You will just need to download the free SafetyEye app onto your iPhone, iPad, or SafetyCam on your Android device.

Any of these 3 choices would be an excellent option for you to use with your 20 foot trailer.
