Back-Up Camera Option(s) For a Truck With the Tailgate Removed for an In-Bed Camper
Question:
Im looking for a backup camera the plugs into factory harness to use when I take the tailgate off my 2021 F250. I have a truck camper that renders my rear view mirror useless. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you are wanting a camera that will plug into the factory harness and use the factory monitor inside your truck. If that is the case, we do not have an option for you that accomplishes that.
The best option we have with your tailgate off and no rear view mirror access is the Rampage Wireless Backup Camera # RA7710.
The Rampage Wireless Backup Camera # RA7710 use rare earth magnets to mount to any metal surface and uses a smart phone for the monitor so you do not have to have an additional monitor in the cab of your truck. While this is not a perfect solution, options are a little more limited with the tailgate removed and the rear view mirror obstructed.
If you wanted a camera option that does not need to be recharged, the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System # FOS43TASF is a great option. The Furrion Vision S is wireless, which means you won't have to run any wires or cables from the camera to the monitor. I recommend replacing the top center clearance light on your truck bed camper which will allow you to reuses that power wire. It can be wired to only function while in reverse by splicing into a reverse light circuit.
