Do you think this is a good back-up camera for my 5ver?

I have looked and looked and read and read and now I am just plain confused on what back up camera I should get for our 5ver.... There are SO MANY choices!
Is there anyone who has a back up system that can give me a recomendation of a decent system priced
$300 or less?
Thanks for any input.

I have this system: rear view camera which looks pretty much the same.
I did add an additional camera so I have one on the back of the HDT and one on the back of the 5er. I went with the wired system due to reported problems I read about with the wireless ones on longer RVs. I have had my system for 4 years now so maybe the wireless ones have improved since then?

I can't help you there as I am looking myself. When help arrives and you make a decision, let us know as I'm definitely interested. Hugs, Di

Phil, I looked at that unit, is 32ft. of coax enough to go from the rear of the fiver to the cab? Did you have to
purchase any other accessories?

I ordered an additional 50' cable along with the 32' one that comes standard with the camera. This gave me enough coax to run from the rear of the 5er to the front using the 50 and then I ran the other one from the rear of the truck to the monitor in the cab.

I don't want to spend thousands of dollars, I see this unit from Rear View Safety has some good reviews.

Thanks Phil for all the help.
I just purchased this Rear View Safety Model with Quick Connect as I really like the quick connect option
for my 5ver. Looks like a good unit (I hope).
looks good. enjoy!
