Trailer rear vision camera

My travel trailer came with a rough-in for a Voyager brand wireless rear vision camera system.  I imagine these may be good cameras because the price is much higher than other brands.  However, except for the advantage of slightly easier installation, I cannot find specifications that warrants the premium price.   Amazon advertises some  wireless kits with extra cameras and larger monitors for less than half the price.  My objective is to be able to see if there is a car or motorcycle hiding behind my trailer while in traffic.  Have you found an inexpensive wireless system that you'd recommend?

I purchased this system I installed on my 35' living quarters horse trailer. It works fine and provides a view behind and inside the trailer.

 

Good luck with your decision.

I started with a cheap back up camera - would not pass a signal through my 31' TT and truck. Spent 3X on a furrion rear observation system and it is night and day difference. I think that you get what you pay for. BTW I did get my money back on the first system, but it took some time.

I bought a decent wireless camera/monitor combination from Amazon.  It provides a clear view behind my travel trailer and I'm happy with my purchase.  This unit has recording capabilities so I am planning to put a camera in the front grill area of my truck.  (This will also serve to provide parking assist in those snug parking situations)  Is there an appropriate spot in front of the truck that I could tap or should I run wire to the fuse panel in the cab?

Thanks for the suggestions.  I did purchase a wireless setup from Amazon and will give it another try this weekend before I give the brand any recommendations.  I do strongly suggest that travel trailer owners consider a rear vision camera setup.  We knew that vehicles could hide in our blind spot, but were shocked on our first outing with a camera just how many!
