Recommended Backup/Inbed Camera System for Trucks with Headache Racks
Question:
Im looking to purchase this Custom Third Brake Light Camera System w/ Rear View Mirror - Night Vision - 4.3 Screen Item # 3460005. My concern is that I have a headache rack and I will not be able to see the bed because of the way the camera is mounted. Do yall have a camera made specifically for trucks with headache racks? If I purchase one of these and it doesnt work would I be able to swap the camera out with one that I can mount on the headache rack?

Expert Reply:
This is a legitimate concern as most headache racks do obstruct the camera view especially in the bed. As you can see the camera sits below the third brake light and will likely be obstructed with the Custom Third Brake Light Camera System w/ Rear View Mirror part # 3460005.
Instead the Rear View Safety Backup Camera w/ Rearview Mirror and Night Vision part # RVS-776718-BT would be my pick. This will allow you to as you said mount the camera where it will be more able to let you see what you want..
I have also attached a copy of the return policy.
