Dang, I posted someting on this a few hours ago and my computer has been logging off the site every time I turn around.

I've been looking at backup cameras to put one on the truck I tow with to help me line up my hitch with my trailers because I get tired of getting out of the truck a half dozen times to see how close I am.

Searching around shows that there are very basic units for around 30 bucks or advanced setups that have both a backup camera and a front view camera that records in one unit.

I've found that a lot of those front view setups that clip on the mirror are too heavy for mirrors that are glued onto the windshield though.
