Camera For Hitching Up Gooseneck/5th Wheel Trailer

Updated 08/07/2023 | Published 08/04/2023

Question:

I currently have a Furrion camera system for my truck. I have a backup camera, and the two side markers. Im using this for my 5th wheel camper. I use a Gooseneck hitch, but I cant see it from inside the truck. Can I buy a 4th camera to put in the truck bed to help with alignment and will the Furrion monitor handle display of a 4th camera?

While technically the Furrion will support four cameras, there isn't one that is able to be added to the truck bed to help you hitch up, they are only cameras for the trailer. What I recommend instead is a removable magnetic mount camera that you can pop on and off and is viewable through your phone:

- Swift Hitch Wi-Fi Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - Wireless - Night Vision # SH04

Having it viewable on your phone means you don't have to add another screen, and the fact it is magnetic means you can move it around to find the best possible angle for hitching your trailer.
