    What camera do you guys recommend for the rear of a travel trailer? I will be pulling a 25 foot but I won't have anyone with me to make sure I am clear enough for lane changes. Thanks

    Depends.

    Most come pre wired these days (I believe mostly for Furion). I have a 32' TT and have no issues with the Furion 5". Works great, no connectivity issues, has 1-way audio, and has a really wide view. I mounted the camera up by the rear view mirror since it gives that same view and is natural for me to keep an eye there.

    I believe another option is the Garmin cameras that work with some of their RV GPS systems.

    I'm sure other options exist, but I hope this is a starting point. Happy camping!

    I have a 32' TT with the Furion 5". I use it primarily when I back in and the one way audio is great so that I can hear my wife as she provides directions from behind the trailer. It is difficult to see as the display is small and lots of screen glare in the sun. I use it when I'm driving if I need to verify I have cleared someone while passing before I pull in the lane but primarily I use my mirrors. I purchased the
    CIPA 11300 Custom Towing Mirror
    clip ons for my 2017 Limited and have logged 8,000 miles towing - they work well.

    I use a Furrion 7” for my 26’ trailer and I have no complaints.
