Way too expensive. Buy a baby monitor (battery operative), for $99 bucks!

I looked into that as a solution also. I found that the cameras are not rugged enough to last outdoors, the monitors have to be plugged in via a converter in the dash, the mounting of the camera is almost impossible and, the placement of the monitor is tough because of their size.

I use baby monitors for my kids and have several types but they just weren't easy to use for hitching my trailers.

Interesting....
Sounds like your solution is a great idea!

Why limit it to hitching a trailer? Can't the camera be mounted more
permanently for use as a back up camera?

Good question.

It could be mounted but since there are some products out there that are
fixed mount we chose to develop this portable, adjustable wireless system.
The idea is to make it easy to use for everyone without charging the high
installation fees that come with a permanent mount system.

Thanks for the feedback Dan, I really appreciate it.

Try Cabelas and West Marine/Boat U.S. Their catalogs are loaded with
inventions that must appeal to someone.

Not yet. We just started rolling it out a few weeks ago. I can sell
directly right now but will be using online retailers and national
distributors in the next few weeks.

Curtis,
Do you any retail distribution on the product?

"Curtis Thompson" wrote in message

Good comment on the "finding a home" issue. The case that the system is
shipped in is built for storage/carrying, complete with protective foam
inserts. It will fit easily almost anywhere.

Thanks for the input!

It is an interesting idea, but I would find it hard to find a home for
the monitor when I am not trailering. I am sure there are many who
like the idea of having the latest gadget, but even at $350 I would
find this toy more trouble then it is worth.
