So I just can't let go of this next idea, despite zero results when I checked around last year.
There must be an inexpensive wifi outdoor camera that will send the image to a phone or tablet.
My phone and tablet are both able to be a wifi hot spot so I always have a wireless network with me on my phone.
I imaging mounting some small wireless battery operated camera to the trailer and using the phone or tablet to check traffic behind, or when backing up.
Has anyone here ever found something like this?

This sounds pretty interesting and easy to use. Keep us posted.yycwrangler wrote:so I finally went with a wireless camera that shows through my iPhone. After the first time it is synced, every time I activate the camera the pic comes up on the iPhone..Get it a couple of days from now and designed for a rv or semi..Will post the results once I get it setup..Thoughts are putting it on a magnetic strip with a quick connect power. That way I can move it to different locations.

When the camera is powered it creates it's own wifi signal, so I go to my wifi settings and find the one the manufacture states will appear. Once selected open the camera app and the image appears..Look clean and is definitely helpful when back up..Signal seems strong. Will send some pics shortly but it's pouring outside today so will wait for a dry day..More to follow
