Ya, slick...my brother has this and the brake controller /tow control system in his Exploder.

Is nothing sacred. Now you don't even have to learn how to backup.

Next thing you know, the cars will drive themselves.
Then we won't have to learn to drive either...
lol...!!!

I think you still need to learn. The camera is just going to show you just how bad you can jackknife the little bugger and how quickly. Now, self-driving cars could probably be trained to do it. :-)

The system above is much more than a Camera... it is a "Hands Off " Trailer Backup Assist...
Any experience with it ?

I need that just to back my minivan out of my driveway that hugs my house!

Wow. That's a perfect use for 'self driving cars'.

One thing not illustrated in the video, though, was backing 'blind'. The Tab, and any other camper, blocks about 75% of the view of where you're going.

The backup camera on the back of the camper would be more useful for us. Or a 'bird's eye view' camera might be nice, showing the full picture of the TV and the Tab together. Maybe all three cameras, and the ability to switch between them.

From personal experience, it is a great tool... I use it on my farm for my various utility trailers as well and while the rear view directly behind the t@b is obstructed...the grid on screen gives you a reference point if you take the time to note landmarks in the screen, essentially informing you of your rear position...it can back a trailer better than me into a barn door with inches to spare...hope you find a system that works for you...hope this info is useful for those that are interested...
