• Backup Camera Recommendation that Can be Used for Hitch Alignment
• The camera angle of the K-Source Vision System Backup Camera # KSVS-8 that you referenced can be pointed pretty far down but it really depends on the location of the license plate relative to the hitch, if there's a portion of the bumper that would get in the way, and the length of your ball mount etc. If you check out the picture I attached you can see the camera pointed down pretty far which would capture the hitch ball on the monitor but it looks like the step bumper would interfere....

• How To Use the Light-Up Telescoping Hitch Aligner with an Aluminum Ball Mount
• In order to use the Easy-Hitch Light-Up, Telescoping Hitch Aligner part # JE00600 with either your Weigh Safe Aluminum Ball Mount or Rapid Hitch Aluminum Ball Mount you will need to either place the aligner directly atop the hitch ball or on the receiver tube between the bumper and ball mount (see photo). The aligner however will not be able to be attached to the shank because it has a magnetic base that will not work with aluminum. If the above will not work for you then your only other...

• Recommended Backup Camera and Trailer Hitch Aligner for Ford F-150
• The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System part # HM50002 is what I recommend for adding a backup camera and hitch aligner to a Ford F-150. This is a great system because the camera attaches to the license plate so there's no drilling to install the camera or finding a spot for mounting. It's a wired system so there won't be any connection issues, especially if you have a newer style with aluminum body. The signal is then sent into the cab where you have a nice color...

• Troubleshooting Hopkins Backup Camera that Has Blue Screen but Audio Works
• The blue screen error that you mentioned on the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System part # HM50002 is a non-repairable fault, the unit will need to be replaced.

• Will Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera Work With 25 ft Camper Trailer
• Thanks for the picture of your truck and trailer. Based on that I can tell that the Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor # SH02DIGITAL that you referenced would easily work. This camera has an uninterrupted range of up to 300 feet so for your shorter in length trailer it would easily work well. Unlike other wireless cameras the Swift Hitch camera setups have a great reputation for signal strength as well.

• Is There a Cargo Light Camera For Hitching a 5th Wheel Trailer On a 2012 Chevy Silverado
• I do have options for you but there is not a cargo light camera kit offered for a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Instead, you will want to use a wireless hitch alignment camera kit. I recommend the Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor part # SH02Digital or the Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera part # RVS-83112. These cameras both have magnetic mounts so you could place them on the roof of your cab. The Swift Hitch Digital also comes with a suction cup mount...

• Which Back Up Camera Works Best for Hitch Alignment
• You could go with something like the Swift Hitch Trailer Hitch Aligner Portable Wireless Camera System with Night Vision # 04928 which has more maneuverability and you can point it directly at your trailer ball. The down side is that this unit uses rechargeable batteries and sticks out considering its size and color.

• Should Axles be Aligned with the Tongue or Frame on Trailer with Tongue that was Welded Off-Center
• When aligning the axles on your Trailstar Trailer, I recommend aligning them so that they are square to the trailer's frame. Doing this will maintain the load capacity and structural integrity of the trailer itself. If you were to instead align the trailer to the tongue, it would shift the load bearing components of the trailer off-center, essentially reducing it to an unknown capacity. This may have an effect on other components as well, such as the suspension and wheels. The only drawback...

• Can Rock Tamers be Used with etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar
• I have the etrailer Hitch Pin Alignment Collar # e98942 and while it works great for me I could see it potentially causing an issue with RockTamers like part # ERT00108 if the shank of the ball mount you were using was shorter. If the shank was longer and had plenty of clearance it wouldn't be an issue. This would take up right at 1 inch of the shank length which the Rock Tamers require an inch of clearance as well.
