Rear Camera

[Msfitoy]

LOL even if this works, you're one click away from PARK! What are the odds of sliding it a bit too far? ?

Exactly what I'd like to be able to do. Thinking maybe one of these.

Could mount the camera on the trailer, wire the camera power to the brake battery ... put female connections on the trailer and truck. plug in a jumper and wire the monitor under the dash, or, just plug it in the 12 volt cig looking thing.

I have two of these...one to cover front blind spot below the hood and one under the truck pointing forward to spot my tires...they're wireless and been working for the past 5000+ miles without a glitch...I want to add a third one facing rear but don't have room to spare on my dash anymore ?

Got a lightning deal for $84 each...

With a 33 foot range ... I could mount it on the top on the trailer ... and watch the trike once in awhile.

Thanks for the link.

Edit: Is the camera battery powered or do you need to wire it?

You'd need to have the trailer power the camera though...

Easy enough, my trailer has a charging wire and battery.

So today I hooked up the truck to the trailer, took it to Big O and had 3 new tires put on. Thread was still good, but they were 7 years old.

You're replacing 7 year old tires? Why?

Too bad they won't switch between several cams on a single display. Or a multi-cam display.

While still only one cam, something like this is interesting.

Dry rot is my guess

That is the industry standard.

I guess the old method of 10 years wasn't generating enough revenue?

Probably ! Many tire shops wont repair or balance a tire older than 7 years.

Ask me if I've done it?

Answer: I have, and it didn't catastrophically explode anything. and yes, I did it on purpose to see what it would do

If you let go of the button on the stick it won't go into Park from Reverse from what I remember.

I'd find a new shop.

It seems every year there are more and more "rules", when a little common sense would dictate taking things on a case by case basis would be both logical and proportional.

New car dealers do the same.

I have had two tires on two different trailers loose tread while doing 65 mph ... the second one was enough to start replacing them at 7 years. These were actually 8 years old and did have some dry rot.

My thought is ... putting my $35K trike on a trailer and dragging it 1200 miles ... I want to have decent tires.

I also just put new take offs with 300 miles on them on my 2 year old truck ... mostly because the inner band of tread was worn due to an out of alignment condition.

It might be wasteful, but, I don't take chances with tires. They are way cheaper than wrecking and running the risk of killing someone.

Last winter, a Jeep Liberty was in front of me on I70. We were both doing about 75 mph ... a section of his tread separated and he overreacted and ended up flipping his jeep twice. He was very fortunate, only minor injuries. I wasn't very far from hitting him before he left the road ... my only injury was a pair of underwear and a pair of jeans ...
