This is my first post here since I just replaced my Ram with a 2022 Silverado 1500LTD LTZ. I have the surround vision system and want to add the rear trailer camera to get rid of the extra monitor I used with my 30' travel trailer. I just purchased and received the trailer camera (PN 85004154) from Shop Chevy Parts. I plugged it in but the truck is not detecting it. Does a trailer have to be connected for it to work? My camper is in storage and I have not been able to get over there to check out the full trailer setup. I want to make sure it works before I install anything. I also need to get it over to a tire shop to have the included tire pressure sensors installed in my camper. One other thought I just had... I do not have the tow mirrors. Will the system still work well (including invisible trailer mode) with the standard mirrors and an 8' wide camper? I'm not sure that the cameras on the regular mirrors I have are out far enough to see all the way down the trailer side. Thanks in advance for any input.
