Well the range must be decent on that thing if it reaches the front of your RV. No line amps or other trickery to get it to go that far? Last I was looking at a wireless backup cam for the trailer range was an issue getting all the way to the front of the tow pig.

On my 40ft enclosed, for $30 off ebay, I bought a cheap camera and a 50ft RCA video cable. My Excursion already has an aftermarket double din 7 in DVD touchscreen stereo unit installed and also a backup camera on the license plate mount. When I am towing with this trailer, I just unhook the vehicle backup camera at the rear bumper and plug in the trailer camera. Camera is powered by the interior dome lights. Wasnt too difficult. Easy, cheap, and works great. I can drive full time with the trailer camera video output on the stereo screen up front, and let the kids watch the overhead DVD and sound in the back. I looked at wireless cameras, but Im a cheap bastard.
