I am looking for a low tech (inexpensive) method for hitching up the trailer by myself. I've seen the mirror that you place over your tailgate lip so you can see the hitch and ball as they come together, but I have a tonneau cover so I don't think this model will work for me. I know they make after market camera/monitor deals, but I just want something simple that I don't have to wire/mount in my vehicle that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Anyone have any suggestions/experience with something like this?

this could be even better. Very similar as the last one, but cheaper.

How about a cheap wireless backup camera? I have this one and surprisingly lasting more than year so far and still works good. It is less than $90..

looks like less then stellar reviews on Amazon. I really just want something removable. I have to much crap on my dash and console area already. I'll probably try one of the two I previously mentioned.

btw, I ended up going with this one: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... &noImage=0
and like it very much. Saves me even with a helper.
