Does anyone really like the exercise they get when hopping in and out of your tow vehicle when trying to get the trailer hooked up?

How about getting guided to the trailer by your wife or better yet, your 7 & 9 year old daughters?

Moombadaze posted under his mods a backup camera a few months ago. I had been looking for one and found the same brand he has in a wireless version on clearance at Target for $69.99!

Since my boat stays on the lift 90% of the time, I wanted to set my camera up so I could make easy to set up and use when I needed it versus mounting it to my truck. The local police were sure to pull me over for the camera covering up part of the license plate

Below are the details of the job.

supplies - camera kit, magnets from Home Depot, male flat 4 trailer plug, 8 to 4 pin adapter, heat shrink tubing and screws & bolts which got changed to double face tape b/c the magnets were too hard to drill through! Also had a few small tools such as wire strippers and heat gun.


spliced wires together and put double faced tape on magnets


used heat gun to shrink tubing


stuck magnets to camera bracket
