Anybody know of a cheap, small camera and monitor that can be mounted to the trailer so I can see behind it while traveling? (not just to back up) I just don't feel comfortable not seeing anything back there.

Seems like there are some wireless security cameras that people are starting to use on Amazon. Signal sent from rear-mounted camera, to receiver stuck to the inside rear window. Then a cable is run from the receiver to a monitor (purchased separately), mounted on the dash. IIRC, I think the camera was about $25 on Amazon. Monitors vary, and are easy to find, but his was $100. If I can find the thread on another site, I'll post back here.

Looks like camera was $100. Monitor must have been $25.

Thank you! That may be just what I'm looking for. May have to rig one up from various parts, rather than buy a kit, but doesn't matter so long as I can see whats behind me!
I'm thinking of going with a wired set. The wireless is more convenient, but I think I'd get a better more consistent image with the wired connection. Besides, I have to hitch the trailer, the chains, the light/brake plug and the e-brake cable, whats one more connection?
