Rear View TV System
To improve driving safety, an inexpensive black & white security camera was mounted in the rear window of the trailer to see what was behind us.   A second camera was put on a custom mount that fit over the partially opened rear window of the van to facilitate trailer hook-up by one person.  The camera, monitor and cable was less than $60 from Lowes (clearance).  Two systems were purchased to get the second camera and back-up monitor.

The monitor was modified to provide a mirror image, so the view is the same as it would be in the rear view mirror.
