Recommended Inexpensive Backup Camera for Trailer with Mobile App

Question:

Hi - mostly want an inexpensive 12V camera to show whats behind us when driving. The kind that sends the video to an iPhone inside the vehicle. Curious if there are any camera that can stick or mount to the inside of the rear window in the travel trailer? I have a 12 V receptacle inside the trailer by the rear window that does have power when driving. Thanks.

The best inexpensive wireless backup camera we offer that uses your mobile device as the monitor is the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera part # HM34FR. This unit will mount to a clearance light usually found at the top of the trailer on the outside like the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Light part # MCL31RB. If you don't have one you would just install your own and run power up from the tail lights. This makes for a pretty easy install and then all you'd do is pair the camera with your phone.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a camera system for trailers that mounts inside the trailer itself as most don't have a rear window and signal reception from a device inside the trailer at the rear wouldn't really be too feasible.
