Recommended Backup Camera Options for a 1996 Chevy C/K Series Pickup
Question:
I have a 1996 Chevy dually and I am looking for a camera to help hooking up trailers. I see too many on the market and since I have bought from you in the past I will buy from you again. Thanks

I have a few different recommendation for you to choose from depending on what you are looking for in a backup camera system.
A great camera system that replaces your license plate mounting bracket is the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002. This was created with hooking up to bumper pull trailers and has a very easy installation.
A system that gives you a little more flexibility in its use is the Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera # RVS-83112. This is probably the easiest system to setup and use. The monitor simply plugs into your 12V socket and the camera has a powerful magnet that allows you to mount it in a variety of places.
The last system that you might be interested in replaces your rear view mirror. The Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System # RVS-776718-D is a great option for people who would rather not add a monitor in their cab. When you put your 1996 Chevrolet Pickup in reverse the camera sends a signal and a monitor pops up in the rear view mirror instead of on a monitor.
Like you said, there are a wide variety of options available. If you are not quite sure about any of these options just let me know what you are looking for in a backup camera and I can check to see if we have one available that fits your description.
