    Am i new to the party? Has this been around for some time? What the hell happened to just lining up your wheels with the sides of your trailer?

    only $1500=/- each

    bullet points 1 through 5 identify 7 things that can (will) fail
    bullet point 6 , hmmmm, blunt force trauma?

    A driver needs to line up properly anyways, what are the camera views going to add?

    One more screen hanging on your dashboard

    They were bringing them in two years ago when I was there. Never had a problem hooking up a trailer until I tried watching that screen.
