Question:
I have 2020 Ram 3500 Bighorn model truck. Does not have bed camera for 5th wheel hookup. I have the regular display not the extra large one. What options do you have? Any way for me to use existing display. I also have Furrion camera monitoring system for my trailer that works on Bluetooth connections,, if that can be used.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor with Night Vision, # SH02DIGITAL. This is a wireless system with night vision capability, the camera has both a magnetic and a suction cup mount. It can be attached to your pin box to make lining up the king pin and the funnel of your fifth wheel hitch during hitching much easier. We've discovered that mounting the monitor on the drivers side of the cab and the camera on the right side of the 5th wheel provides the best reception. Integrating with the screen on your vehicle is not an option.
There is also the Swift Hitch Wi-Fi Camera for Smartphone or Tablet, # SH04. A version of the above but will allow connection to your smart phone or tablet with use of an app.
Depending on what Furrion system you have, you may be able to add an additional camera and locate that where you think is best to assist you in backing up the truck. If you let us know what system you have we can make suggestions. But I think the Swift Hitch with Night Vision, # SH02DIGITAL is best available option.
