I'm willing to bet you are not going to like how your truck performs...You have obviously made up your mind so be safe.
Back roads and 45 mph top speed. Often 35. Yea for an rv on a long trip I would like to be under limits.

Question for you guys. Anyone running a camera behind their camper?

I'm about to start double towing and I want to see the second trailer, also it'd be nice to see traffic coming, and for backing. I did a bunch of research in wired ones, wireless ones to my iPhone, then I came across this.

Amazon.com: Astak 2.4 GHz Pan & Tilt Baby Camera with 2.5" LCD Color Handheld Monitor with Night Vision: Camera & Photo Amazon.com: Astak 2.4 GHz Pan & Tilt Baby Camera with 2.5" LCD Color Handheld Monitor with Night Vision: Camera & Photo

It has a 300' range. Plug in both camera and receiver and have a constant view behind the camper.

It also can be controlled with the remote. Looking up, down, left, and right.

Baby camera? Lol, you buy it first and see how the resolution is. I need one too, the reason I want 5th wheel is to pull jet ski behind it.

I just ordered it. The reviews are saying the video is great, audio sucks. Guess what......I don't want to hear anything!

I'm going to mount it inside on my back window.

The wireless backup cameras they sell for cars suck. Reception is bad enough at the bumper let alone another 20 feet behind that.

Just saw this on craigslist. Looks a little heavy

Here's the link

http://greenbay.craigslist.org/rvs/3716444177.html

He also has max tow. But this looks to be in the 30' range.

Looks like what I'm getting. When i expressed my thoughts on being overloaded the saleman said they are pulling them with 5.3 chevys and said I would have no problems with my Ford, lol!

To bad he didn't post the model, my floorplan is different, no bunks in mine. His looks better
