    After one my trailer roof was destroyed by idiots in Denver I made sticky camera box to record and watch everything I want. Rear of my trailer, inside the trailer, side view from the cab. Transmitter can cover up to 1 mile distance.

    Danm, that isn't cheap.

    Buy a baby monitor. Set the camera on the ground where you want your trailer to end up. You can set it there when you open your doors. Cheap and easy way to see if your blind side is clear and if you're on the right track. Once you get comfortable backing you'll probably rarely use it though.
