Our 44 ft DRV is arriving in a couple of weeks and having previously owned a Newmar, & never had a 5th wheel, I'll be lost without one.

Wireless would be awesome if anyone has recommendations????

You will likely find that lack of a back up camera on your new fifth wheel is the least of your problems backing. Sounds like you are used to a motorhome which is a very very different type of backing. You really need to check around the net for many good articles on backing a fifth wheel, you will find that what you really need is an experienced spotter to guide you. Good luck, we have a 38.6 and it is a bear to back, can't imagine the challenge of something bigger.

You are absolutely right! I also want to be able to use it as a means to view the traffic behind me.

I had a backup camera put on my 05 and when I tried to use it toback up I got in trouble because of the fisheye effct. I always used a spotter after that and didn't use it for backuup. But it was great for road traffic monitoring. Especially for passing.
