Rear camera relo for tire swing out (1 Viewer)

[kcjaz]

I’m trying to decide on a rear bumper. I’m down to Kaymar or Dissent. Both will require a camera relo due to the tire carrier.

I like the Dissent camera location as it allows for seeing the trailer hitch.

For Kaymar and most others the camera is relo’d to tire carrier so I would think you can’t see the hitch with the camera. Also, I would think the camera path of travel graphics would be off enough in this location to be annoying.

Does anyone have pics of the camera view with graphics on with the camera relo’d in these locations?

Just another alternative... I installed a separate camera (and screen) that I can activate at any time (not just in reverse) and it sits right above the hitch. Can be pointed to see ball when needed. Not expensive at all.
