Backup Camera

[Meanwhile]

I drive and tow with an old Dodge and I'm looking to install a backup camera. Does anyone have a recent model they would recommend?

Wireless seems easy. A system with a camera I can run from the boat stern would be useful for an oversize load but that is a fair distance to the cab (37' to hitch, 8' bed, extended cab).

Thanks for any advice.

You could cut the distance by putting the camera under the back edge of your hard top, and probably get a better perspective on the corners of your boat.
I would install a dash cam, that you can turn on anytime, rather than a dedicated back up cam linked to reverse.

I have bought them on Amazon for myself and for my father in law. My father in law's is wireless backup camera on a F150 4 door. Screen clips to the rear view mirror. Camera on license plate. Works great for lining up the hitch. powered by backup light power. Its the second one in 5 years but it was cheap.
I have a Transit Connect van without side windows and I installed a camera on the blind side in the plastic above the tail light. 5" screen stuck to the wall where a window should be. It is wired. I put in a push button switch above driver's head for power. I can back out of a parking space without panic...

The brands change and the product gets better(higher resolution, etc) so I can't recommend a current product. I doubt the expensive ones are any different than the cheap ones.
There are wireless models for big RVs. I'm sure you can find something. its a crap shoot but they do work.
