Googo wireless camera
Just got this rechargeable, wireless camera from Amazon for $36.99. It connects to any Andriod or Apple without the use of a router. I plan to set it on my truck bumper to hook up to my hitch. It could also sit on the TT rear bumper to see there also. Little camera has a real good picture for a cheap device.

What's it's range? Sounds like a good, cheap option as a rear view camera for the back of the camper.

How do plan to attach it to your bumper, and connect it to your iphone/android?

It's wireless to the phone. I am going to just sit it on the bumper just a temporary camera for hooking up and parking.

So...you need a router to link to your phone/pad. Does anyone run a wifi network while towing?

This camera claims that it is peer-to-peer, no router needed.
Problem is, it does not have very good ratings.

It is peer to peer. Links well to my Android phone. Picture is good. Range is advertized as 100 to 300 feet. Works perfect to 75 feet that I have tested. Seems to work good in sun or shade. I have just had it a couple of days, but first impressions are impressive.

Mind doing me a favor? Could you set it on the rear bumper of your trailer and see if the reception in the truck is good? Like I said Id love to have it as a rear view camera.

That would be a Bluetooth device, just like an earpiece

I am sure it will work well, had in in the house, which has aluminum siding and tin roof, and had perfect connection in camper 75 feet away.

Not Bluetooth. It connects through your wireless connection which is a stronger signal.

True, but Im wondering about 30 feet of trailer and then the truck body, glass and interior bits. Lots of stuff in the way.

I would be interested in the lag/delay. I tried using an old android phone and used an app to pair over Bluetooth to my current phone. It worked but the delay made it unusable. Especially when you get within a few inches of the trailer. A second of delay and BUMP you wake up the DW packing up inside lol.

My GoPro will do the same thing, but the delay is horrible, at least 2 seconds. If the delay is non-existent with this unit, I will buy one for sure!

I have a wireless camera question. When I receive my new Flagstaff 26rlsw travel trailer I want to get a very good wireless camera to go on the back of my trailer (29' 8") . Does anyone recommend or have used a good brand wireless camera that they have used or know someone that has had one?

Just bought new Wireless camera
I just ordered and new voyager WVOs713 wireless backup camera. It has a 7" LCD screen and I have researched wireless cameras for several weeks now and found this camera is the best on the Market. I really got a great deal through Amazon for $632. Most on them out there sell between $800 and $1,000. Almost all of them out there have major issues except this one. I should receive it tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. There are videos online. Here is one.
