Review on πŸ“· WiFi Magnetic Hitch Camera: Effortless Trailer Hitching Solution - RVS-83112-WiFi by Rear View Safety by Andrew Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I bet on car rear view cameras

Just to let you know about our equipment and therefore the range. We have a 2016 Lariat F150, Super Crew and 6.5ft bed and are towing a 2016 Airstream 27ft trailer. Our overall length is 49 feet. I really didn't want the hassle of installing a backup camera, wiring, drilling external holes, and having a monitor on the dash that probably required dangling wires. I wasn't very interested in watching the traffic behind me while driving. I just needed a backup camera to help when reversing to campsites. My wife went back there with a walkie-talkie or an iPhone to guide me. My play with this clutch cam was to connect the camera to my iPad in the driver's seat. Not only the distance between them, but also the aluminum trailer. The answer is that most of the time it works. No idea why not always. Arriving at the campsite and surveying the site, we place the camera on the markers I made on the rear bumper compartment, connect the camera to WiFi and drive on. We have just returned from a week long trip. But the camera can serve other purposes, maybe even better than just backup. I thought about putting the camera on the ground so I can get on and off the leveling blocks! I usually have a spotter, but this function was taken over by the camera. Also on this trip the toilet had a leak in the back where I couldn't see the plumbing problem. I thought of using the camera to see what's behind. Later, but not before I have solved the problem. So if I can't see I could use this camera to help. So I'm more excited than I ever thought. The excitement was worth it!

Pros
