For a very coat effective option I suggest the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera - Wireless - Universal Mount - 152-Degree View, # HM34FR. This wireless camera mounts beneath your existing trailer light displaying and pairs your smart phone with the Hopkins mobile app. The only thing I caution with this is to point out it has a rate of 20 frames per minute. So when backing up go slow enough to allow the image to keep up with your movements. Because this uses your smart device there is no extra screen and because it mounts to your already existing light wiring you do not need to run additional wiring. See the attached product review and installation video. If you are wanting a basic backup camera at a great price point, this is it.
Many of the newer RV's are being prewired for a Furrion camera system. If you are prewired and wish to use that existing wire, the most basic set-up we currently carry is the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision - Rear Mount - 4.3" Screen, # FOS43TASF. This wireless backup camera system has a waterproof camera with night vision. A touch screen, anti-glare monitor mounts to your dashboard. This also has a speaker/mic that allows you to communicate with a spotter behind/to the side of the trailer.
