Back-Up Camera Recommendation for a 2014 Kenworth T-270
Question:
Do you have a product that would work on a 2014 Kenworth T-270 w/20ft box?
asked by: Fraser
Expert Reply:
Given the length of the truck I recommend a back up camera that is a hardwire and not wireless because the greater the distance and the more obstructions the more interference there will be for a wireless system.
The systems that replace the rearview mirror, # KSVS-8, are great if you do not want to attach a monitor to the dash. They hardwire in as well but you may need some additional wire, small gauge, to extend the wiring. I have linked a video showing a typical installation for you.
I own the Hopkins system, # HM50002 that is a back up camera and sensor system. It works great on my car, see video installation link, and the only thing you would need with it is, most likely, additional wire because of the length of your truck.
