I read these article with great interest since I just bought a wireless camera system and put it on the TM. I was an XO vision (about $80 at Wallmart). I probably should have bench tested it first but I decided to install it while I was hanging around at the campsite. The installation took me about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it was 20 minutes I'll never get back. It just didn't work. Specs indicated that the camera output was 2mW, which I thought was too low to travel the 35 or so feet to the front of the TV and I was right. I'll be returning it.
I'm not giving up though. I think I'll cobble together something with a wired camera. The one question I'll have to deal with is how far the video signal will go over the right type of coax. The other choice is to shell out the $800 for a system that has been tested in these kinds of applications. Their displays tend to be larger too. You can see from the picture of my driveway why I'd be interested in the back up video capability.
