Trailer back up camera

Since I hate backing up our TT I have been thinking of getting a wireless backup camera that hooks on the back of the TT. I am asking for any suggestions or brands that any one has used and are they worth it.

Lots of threads on this topic here on the forum. I bought a cheap wired version for $75 and have it mounted on the trailer bumper. The monitor isn't the greatest but it does the job. My other complaint is that I have no perspective on where the left and right limits are....I just see a wide view behind the trailer but I can't see the edges of the camper so I can't tell how close I am to an object.

If you have a newer TT that came "pre-wired", then find out what models are plug and play.
This is what I got because my TT came pre-wired, and it was plug and play.

The rear cameras are helpful, but they only help so much. There is no substitute for practice practice practice. When I purchased my first TT it took me 45 minutes just to back it into the storage space I rented. After a while, I got to where I could back it into a spot on the first attempt, all while talking on the cell phone. LOL

I have the same unit. It works well in my application. My trailer is 26'6" from the hitch to the back bumper where I mount mine and I've had no issues with reception or screen clarity.
