Looking to get a back up cam for my Safari Damara 235s (23'6" oal).
So far what I think is the best deal is Wireless Backup Round Camera
and 2.5" LCD Receiver
Item#: 8907AB for $116.xx it's from 4ucam.com . It's wireless and the camera has a 7' wire to the transmiter. So in my case if the monitor is on the dash; subtract 5' to the front bumber and subtract 7' from the back then the transmitter to monitor should only be 10'-12'. This should be an good enough signal?
I searched "4ucam" and found a couple of posts about people looking at them and ordering them but no one said they had one or how well it worked.
Any one have on of these?

You should check Costco! I bought a Wireless Combination which I'm using in the Camry! I Tried it in the Motor Home as well just to check the range and because It already has a power point at the Back! Around $70 with a Coupon!

I bought the backup cam from costco and mounted it on my Chevy Silverado. I can barely see the picture from teh camera. If you're at or near the distance from the transmitter, you won't be able to see it.

Whatever you buy, you need to test it before you buy it. If I was going to do it again, I would have gone with a hard wired solution!

Good Luck!

We bought the backup cam from Costco and it works great but we are using it to hitch our Hensley. It has a range of about 30 - 32' so it wouldn't work with longer units like motorhomes.
