Add on rear camera???

[KYOUNG]

I have found that I cant see the hitch in my Laramie because of stiff neck and added on toolboxs..... I was wondering if anyone sells an addon camera that you mount on the back of the cab so i can see the hitch and hookup by myself. The factory one in the tailgate works ok for a tagalong hookup!

Thanks, Kevin

Just experiment with your camera mounting

Check out the 'iball'. Not a permanent mount, but works great. I have one.

A much simpler alternative. Haven't used one, but sounds like a good idea.

The IBALL works great you can put on the trl or in the truck bed I also used it when hooking up the snow plow

I ordered the magnetic mirror from Ebay and will give it a try!

Just did this install today..... and already can't remember the brand name of the camera. It is meant to be used on rear license plate area and is wireless from camera transmitter to inside monitor.



After much surmizing..... I removed the third brake light lense. Found enough room to tuck transmistter and all wiring back inside . Connected power and ground to main plug supplying brake lights and load lights. I can use the cargo light switch in truck as on/off for the transmitter. I attached camera , centered just under the 3rd brake light lense with two sided 3M tape. Camera is almost unnoticable on the tinted window, and does a good job showing 5th wheel(which was not visible over my tonneau cover previously). Also does decent job as rear view... .



The submersible rating of the camera hopefully will withstand the weather... ..... The cheap rear camera's avail without this rating will not last a year on the license plate in our weather.
