Question:
Im trying to find a rear view camera system to use with my fifth wheel trailer. Id like to use a Google Nexus 7 tablet as my monitor. Is it possible to connect three cameras, for rear, left and right-side views? I know there are a myriad of cameras and wifi transmitters available, just dont know if theres an app to be able to use views from three separate transmitters, or preferrably a multi-channel transmitter connected to three cameras.

While there are observation systems that have multiple cameras, there isn't one at this time that has multiple cameras which all sync to a single smartphone or tablet. The Rampage Wireless Backup Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - iOS or Android # RA7710, for example, will only work with the single camera it comes with as opposed to being able to switch between cameras.
For a camera system like that you would need something that is hardwired into a monitor such as the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - 3 Camera Setup # RVS-770614. This system comes with a 7" color monitor and the cameras have a 130 degree viewing angle along with infrared night vision for when you need to get a view in the dark.
I have added links to video reviews of both systems for you to check out.
