Hitch Alignment Camera To Make Hooking up Fifth Wheel Easier
Published 11/16/2017
Question:
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 Laramie with every option I want, except a cargo camera to make docking my 5th wheel easier. I can add the option, but it would be several $thousand as they have to render the headliner etc., so not really a viable option for me. Is there something that would work and that I could preferably use my iPhone as the monitor?

There is a camera you can add to your 2017 Ram 2500 that will make the hook-up process of your fifth wheel a simpler process. The Swift Hitch Wi-Fi Camera # SH04 will link to your iPhone so there is no need for a monitor. It is a portable camera with a magnetic base so you can mount it wherever you like, though it does come with screws for permanent mounting if you choose.
The Swift Hitch has a mode which will allow you to use the camera even without internet access, night vision that will allow you to see up to 10', is weatherproof for use in the elements, and comes with a holder so you can mount your phone on the dashboard while you line up your hitch.
I've added a link to a video review of this product for you to take a look at as well.
