Just moved to the 5'r forum from our HTT. The 34 footer is a challenge backing up compared to the old 19.5 footer....but loving it.

I have researched wireless camera's vs. hard wired cameras to assist with reversing. Anyone with a wireless system have any issues. I don't want to sound lazy but am leaning toward wireless.

Respectfully,
am

Voyager WVOS511 Digital Wireless Observation System featuring WiSight Technology, Includes AOM562 5.6" LCD Color Monitor and VCMS10B Super CMOS Camera
This system was tested in the latest Trailer Life Magazine. It is the one I will get when I have a spare $800.00

While I understand wanting a wireless version, I have never had luck with them even with my 17' trailer. I went to Rear View Safety for a 2 camera system, one for the tow vehicle & one for the trailer. They have a connection kit to go between the trailer & the tow.

That one looks really good. Especially the price.

We use a Swift Hitch. Works great and can be moved around depending on what we need it for.

Great for hitching to a ball, but screen is too small for me to use backing up,jmho.

I also have Swift Hitch and love it. Very versatile. In terms of the size it is perfect; big enough to see and yet small enough so that it doesn't get in the way.
