Where Should the Rear Camera Be Placed On a Trailer At the Top
Question:
Mounting rear view camera. I am going to mount a rear view camera on my trailer. Should I place it above or below the red driving light towards the top of the trailer? If I place it above, will the red light glare into the camera?

Expert Reply:
The best location to install a camera on the back of the trailer is in place of the center marker light at the top. That said, removing the center light completely can be a violation of local state law. The best option we have with this in mind is the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System part # FR98NR as the center camera is integrated in a mounting bracket which also houses the marker light. Furthermore, there are two traffic cameras which help reduce blind spots when backing up or changing lanes. The system is wireless as well so no wires or cables need run between the cameras and monitor.
If you already have a system, you'll just need to try each location to see what works best for your needs.
