Recommended Backup Camera for Truck with Slide-In Camper with Tailgate Down
Question:
I have a 8 foot truck bed with a slide in Camper. The tailgate is down when using the camper. I am looking for a backup camera to aid in hooking up and backing down boat ramps when using my boat . What would you recommend?

When using your camper and needing to connect or back down boat ramps, I recommend the Rampage Wireless Backup Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - iOS or Android # RA7710. This battery operated wireless camera connects to your phone or tablet using their free app. You can rotate your view, record video, take screenshots and turn on the camera's light from the app.
You can mount it to the underside of the tailgate to connect and then quickly move it to the back of you camper for backing your boat in. This is a very versatile and easy to use system.
If you want a non-battery option, I recommend the Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors - 2-1/2" LCD # HM60195VA which uses the license plate mount and a specific monitor. This wires into your reverse light power signal at your tail light or 7-way to turn on when you shift into reverse.
