Recommended Backup Camera for a Pre-Wired Forest River Trailer  

I have the wireless model with camera mounted on rear of a 40 ft 5th wheel. Monitor in cab of pull vehicle. Works great for seeing obstacles when backing but a larger monitor would be more helpful when trying to manage a backin parking maneuver

I put the camera on my 316RLS and love it. Its just like looking into your trucks rear view mirror and has a very high quality picture.Its great for backing up too, and also has a microphone so your helper doesn't have to shout! The side camera are nice but I use them rarely.

Most Forest River camper come pre-wired. You have to buy the camera and monitor separate. Installation is simple. Remove factory screws and plastic piece used to keep wires watertight, then plug in new camera and reattach. Adjust camera to desired view and your all set. If your tow vehicle is a GM product you will also have to buy an adapter to tell the computer how to adjust power. Also the camera will not work if you vehicle light are not on. So with that said, using it as a security camera at your campsite will not work like advertised. As far as a backup camera goes it pretty good. It will stay on during your entire tow as long as your headlights are on. Does not work on auto headlights function.

I also have the wireless system. My only regret is no going with the larger monitor. It is a great addition to my tow experience. (Thanks to the e-trailer folks for their expert support.)

The camera works great. I like the fact that I can see if someone is following to close while I am traveling. It is also good for backing in my shed or at camp sites . The only problem that I had is that my truck is a newer model and has LED lights. You will have to purchase a plug adapter to get your camera to work. also the parking lights must be on your truck for the camera to work during daylight hours.
