Back Up Camera-Monitor

Hi all didnt see any posts on this wasnt sure where to even put this but here goes...
Anyone have any suggestions for a tough inexpensive Back Up Camera & Monitor set up? Looking for a system thats not too bulky & just gets the job done without a bunch of bells & whistles.....

Look back a few pages; as, this was discussed a few weeks ago.

A good pair of genuine truck mirrors would be money better spent, in my opinion.

Get rid of the "objects in mirror ain't where they look like they are" junk.

I have 2 back up cameras, one on the bumper and one in the box. They work great and are inexpensive. About $37. Planet audio is the brand I am running. good luck!

I got mine from www.rvcams.com , it works pretty good. The perspective thing takes some getting use to. Overall like it better than the other ways. Spent about $300. Mounted the camera next to the trailer coupling. I can see at night with the backup lights. The monitor can also be used as a second DVD monitor. The guy there was real helpfull. I have the camera in the center counsel and plug it into the cigar lighter when needed.I just hold the monitor with my right hand and look out the back window when backing. It helps to see how fast I am moving. When using the monitor the trailer will be in the center of the screen and when closer it is on the right. I practiced with boxes at the shop. In my gallery you can just see it to the right of the coupler.
