we have an F250, a 28-foot fifth wheel and an 18 foot bass boat. We want to install a camera behind the fifth wheel to keep an eye on the boat (while changing lanes, etc). The boat will be behind the fifth wheel. Is this camera strictly for backup...

It will depend on how you hook it up. If you don't use the back up switch then it will be on any time power is applied. The other limit is the length of the wires as it is not wireless. Hope this helps.

NO. You need a model that will change with motion. This is a stationary unit. A boat will be continually moving and this one will not track the movement. I am using this in a motorhome and it can not be used going down the road, but when I am parked it works great.

Well, the resolution ism't great, but it really doesn't need to be. They probably charge a bit much for what you get, but will add an extra layer of protection to you needs. As for an an answer, it's hard to say. What I can write is the camera is a good visual aid (despite having the ability to flip the orientation through software) for vehicles lacking a built in backup camera.

Common way to wire this for RV's is to connect the hot wire and ground for the camera to the nearest marker light. Then just turn the parking/running lights on on your tow vehicle and camera will be on. Otherwise, you can wire it to the hot wire for the rear backup light so it comes on automatically when you shift into reverse. Monitor has its own on/off switch.

If you are needing a quick disconnect in between the tow vehicle and trailer you will need to purchase one separately. I used my system on my feed truck and mounted the camera on strong magnets so I can move camera as time of year changes and I take the large cube feeder off the truck. I also purchased a pyle gooseneck to mount the screen on, MUCH better than what the system comes with.

I just got this professionally installed on a Honda Fit and the camera helps a lot. Before backing up, especially with passengers required a lot of guessing. I paired this camera with a Boyo VTM43TC rear view display.

The cameras are magnetic. I put one on truck looking back at hitch and length of trailer. I put the other one on the back or side of trailer. You can't look at both images at the same time as they are two separate signals. You hit a switch on the screen to switch between the two cameras. I will tell you, I have a 30' trailer and the signal from the back camera is pretty weak sometimes in the truck.

I do not know how you could mount such a camera on the back of a pickup truck, unless it is equiped with a cap, to mount it high on the cap or on the back of the cab. I mounted mine 9 ft high on the back of my motorhome.

The bolt should be facing up, so it's above the camera. The camera is angled down so you'll be able to see the ground and area behind the vehicle.

It's a camera and should be wired into your backup light and only work when you put the vehicle in reverse if properly installed. You will have a picture of what's behind the vehicle when in reverse but when you shift into forward the the monitor screen goes blank.

What ever backup camera you get should fit. My problem is that it would not fit over any GM vehicle that was equipped with Onstar system. As long as you have the RCA wires on the camera alone it should work fine.

I don't know, I haven't seen or tried that feature, but I'll check. I do have to say the camera has exceeded my expectations. The picture is crystal clear. I hardwired the rear of my 5th wheel and made a quick disconnect to my truck where I tie in the trailer connecter and everything works flawlessly. The only negative is that the angle of the rear camera required me to turn it upside down - the monitor allows you to reverse the image, but the text on the screen is reverse also, but it doesn't affect the ability to back up.

Do not know we keep the camera on the boat and the boat was put away for the winter in Oct. sorry I could not help

This backup camera comes with everything you need to make it work. It includes the power connections and the wire to connect the camera. It also includes a mounting bracket for the monitor inside the vehicle. The cameras wire is really long,I recommend not trying to make it shorter. Installation can be a daunting task.I did it myself with one other person to help. If you really want to be nice to your husband you might consider getting a professional to install the backup camera.I proved it can be done by someone with a little skill and ability but it took me about 4 how to install it on my motor home. Works very well, been over a year and still satisfied.

I tried parking my truck backed up to my 27' fifth wheel and was NOT able to get a picture with the camera at the rear end of my trailer. It seems the range is about 20'

When you're backing up and someone is in the rear by the camera acting as a ground guide, they can literally talk and you can hear them all the way up front through the camera which is integrated into the speaker. Its just a nice feature that I have so if someone doesn't have to yell at you from the back to the front. So my son told me go left and I heard em all the way out front through the camera speaker. While you're driving I suggest you volume down. Or you will hear wind.
