Can the camera be easily exchanged between truck and 5th wheel depending if towing or not?

Hi Linda, Its not easy to change the camera is hard to the 5th wheel. Thank you

That depends on the mount of the camera and the power connector. You will have to disconnect the power and ground cable and unscrew the camera from one locatiion and reconnect it on the new location. It would be easier to get a second camera and monitor.

The camera can be moved but you have to un wire and then re wire wherever you want it placed. Why would you want the camera on the 5th wheel. just leave it attached to truck.

I think you would have to build a custom mount adapter. It WOULD be worth the effort if you could use the large Ford towing mirrors with electric adjustment, heat, and integrated running and turn signal lights. However, those are running $300 to $400 in the aftermarket, so this will not be a cheap undertaking. The other alternative would be to get a remote backup camera and place that at the end of the trailer. Probably much cheaper in the long run. I love Amazon, but this is the type of vehicle-specific question which probably is better answered in one of the internet forums specifically for your vehicle. I would imagine this has already been answered in one of those. Good luck.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

There was a camera that my stereo shop installed originally that mounted near my tow hitch that would work with no tailgate. However, it was so low that it was useless for visibility much more than 4 feet behind the truck.

Yes, the camera is adjustable for up/down movement. It also has very near vision so I expect your trailer hitch can be viewed.

i hook up 5th wheel first than fill air bags . that way you can get your 5th wheel right where you want it

I have one on my 2013 F150. I can turn my trailer as sharp as I want without hitting the cab. I can only contact the cab if I back up and jackknife. My fifth wheel is an 87 Bigfoot. YMMV. I agree with an earlier response, I love this hitch!

Common way to wire this for RV's is to connect the hot wire and ground for the camera to the nearest marker light. Then just turn the parking/running lights on on your tow vehicle and camera will be on. Otherwise, you can wire it to the hot wire for the rear backup light so it comes on automatically when you shift into reverse. Monitor has its own on/off switch.

All I know is the superglide "capture Plate" mounted on your 5th wheel is needed to make it work

Yes the BC camera is wireless(sends signal to navigator's receiver mount up to 45ft, further with extension cable), There has to be a power source such as your back-up lights so that every time you switch to reverse the camera picks up your rear area pathway. The camera works alongside Nuvi 2798LMT, RV 760LMT and dezl 760LMT. There is no reason why your unit should not work on your truck. If in doubt check with a Garmin tech.

Yes the backup camera comes on automatically when you shift in reverse. .any back up camera works when you attach it to the unit.

If you are needing a quick disconnect in between the tow vehicle and trailer you will need to purchase one separately. I used my system on my feed truck and mounted the camera on strong magnets so I can move camera as time of year changes and I take the large cube feeder off the truck. I also purchased a pyle gooseneck to mount the screen on, MUCH better than what the system comes with.

I do not know ,I ordered some off the net but they are to big ,I thought may be I could order a twenty foot cable from the camera company but can not get any contact with them ,it looks like they would have cable for 5th wheel set up also.

HD/DVR works great in my 5th wheel. I had trouble finding a satellite, I stopped a Direct TV truck and paid the 20 bucks to tune it in for me. unfortunately I still need a SWM switch to record more than one show at a time. most receiver's will need to use the B band switch included with the system. Makes no sense to me to have an HD TV and not use HD service.

As the others point out, just connect it to a switched power source. However, they also point out that you lose the parking mode. I have it always on, my truck sits for a week or two at a time and I have no issues. The camera goes to sleep and wakes up on impact. You have plenty of computers (clocks, radios, etc.) in your car that draw some power even when off.

No. You can set it to different vehicles. It does not have to be set up as a truck unit. It may advise that a route "may have" restrictions, but will not avoid them.

yes it can just mount it on bottom of plate and reverse the camera on bracket with 4 small screws which takes about 2 minutes. I can see my trailer ball perfect and I am using a 5 1/2 drop hitch on a 2004 Expedition.
