Recommended Rear View Camera System To Use While Towing Camper On The Road

Updated 02/21/2022 | Published 02/19/2022

Question:

Are any of the rear view camera systems rated for full time use? When I am towing, I want to be able to use this to see behind my camper as I drive down the road. I understand that I will need to power this camera all the time when I’m towing. I would disconnect camera and monitor power when I’m not towing. Any recommendations or thoughts? Thanks

I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit # RVS-770613-213. This is one of the few hard wired camera systems that you can add to your camper. Since it is hardwired there is not a delay like you get with some of the Bluetooth wireless camera systems.

Since power to the camera is sent through the monitor it makes it easy to turn the system off when it is not needed. The kit includes a 26' cable for the vehicle, 66' cable for the camper and a 12' coiled cable to connect your camper to your towing vehicle.
