Question:

I am looking for a back up camera and screen that is designed to be used on the back of a 29foot 5th wheel to assist in parking the 5th wheel???

I'd recommend the Swift Hitch Portable camera system, part # SH02DIGITAL. The system is truly wireless, and has night vision capability, out to about a 15 foot distance from the camera, which would be very useful when parking the fifth wheel at night. The camera has both a magnetic and a suction cup mount, and can also 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. Over the years, we've found 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.

I've linked you to a product demonstration video.
