I recently purchased a small camping trailer that I plan to use this summer for family vacations. I will tow the trailer with my Toyota RAV4 and am considering a backup camera to make hooking up the trailer easier. Is there something you can recommend?
A: There are many DIY’er camera kits available that may fit your needs. Some are very sophisticated and will replace the review mirror; others have a portable display similar to a navigation unit. Some backup cameras are even wireless to allow for easier installation. If you don’t want to install the system yourself, an auto stereo store is more than qualified to do the installation.
