I had toyed with this idea for a while and finaly got to trying it last night. I mounted a small servaliance camera that works on a 9 volt power source on a servo in place of the front drivers seat. I am able to see out of the stock mirror well enough to back up. Was able to hook up trailer only after a few minutes of trying. With practice I belive it will be easier. I can now sit in one room or house and run the truck off of the camera. I would try outside but we have 2 feet of snow on the ground. I will try to get some videos onto you tube soon to show how it works. Here are some pictures.

Lol... I prefer the Canadian Ice roads. As a retired Ice Road Trucker I am content to know that I was there for 5 years. I'll continue to play with these and enjoy being home and warm every night.
