My Garmin Nav System has a "back up" camera input. For years I have had this camera on the back of the trailer, but seldom use it because the "fish eye" lens has too short a focal length to be useful as a rear observation camera and I much prefer using my mirrors and spotter Cate when backing into a campsite.
So . . . it occurred to me that I would much rather use this camera to watch the trailer tires, axles and suspension when there is any question about whether that last pothole did any damage, or the Tireminder has lost a transmitter signal. This turned out to be an easy project. This camera now watches the trailer suspension and tires . . . whenever I want it to . Although we seldom travel at night, I will probably add night time lighting .
