Question:

I have a 2018 F-150 EcoBoost with a towing system. I would like to get a camera for my Jayco RV. Is there a camera system that would allow me to integrate the RV camera into my trucks video system, rather than having two different displays?

Expert Reply:

I do have a solution for you but to my knowledge there isn't a camera you can add to your Jayco that will integrate into the video system on your 2018 Ford F-150.

To add a camera to the Jayco it will require a separate display. I recommend something that doesn't have to be permanently mounted. Take a look at the Swift Hitch system # SH04. With this system the camera will transmit to a smart phone via Wi-Fi. This will allow you to add a camera without having to have a separate display; just use your smart phone.

Or you could go with # SH02DIGITAL which does have its own display but it isn't an invasive display like so many other systems. The great thing about either of these systems is that they are not permanent installations. You can use them for other applications as well. I have linked a couple of videos going over the features of the Swift Hitch systems.
