Recommended Camera and Monitor for Observing What is Behind Trailer When Driving

Updated 01/29/2021 | Published 01/27/2021

Question:

ETrailer, I am interested in a wired or wireless rear view system so I can see live what is behind my trailer when driving on roads and highways. I can back up and park our trailer OK with my wife’s help. What camera and monitor kits do you recommend? Thank you

There is one camera system that is the best option for use when you are traveling so you can see what is behind you when driving, and that is the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System with Night Vision. And even though it does say "Backup" camera, it can be wired to your running lights to be used as an observation system so it will work for exactly what you are wanting. This system is the 5 Inch Monitor: Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System with Night Vision # FOS05TASF.

The Furrion Observation camera system is great because it uses camera that has a shaded design so glare in the bright sun won't be a problem, and also has infrared so you can use it without issue after the sun goes down. The camera is also waterproof so no matter what type of weather you encounter it will give you a durable, effective way to observe what is happening behind you.

The 5-inch screen with the # FOS05TASF provides clarity and is a simple way to use the system. These LCD screens give you a full color view and you can even adjust the brightness and color to your liking. The best part is they are touchscreens so there are no bulky or cumbersome controls to mess with.

I have added links to video reviews of these observation systems for you to check out as well.
