Backup Camera for Garmin

I wish they would provide a battery option for the camera for temporary use in difficult backing up situations.
We have a 40 foot motorhome, and while it has a back up camera on the back in the center, I really need to see right were my back wheel is on the passenger side from time to time. It would be nice to be able to suction cup a small camera on a temporary basis. Running wires for that purpose just is not gong to happen.

"Professional Installation Recommended

For installation, Garmin recommends taking the BC 30 to your dealer. But if you’re a diehard do-it-yourselfer, that’s an OK alternative as well. You’ll need to mount the camera on the rear of your vehicle and connect it to a power source, such as the rear lights. The BC 30 is rugged enough to withstand even the harshest of weather. And up to 4 cameras can be used together in 1 system, for multiple viewing angles."

at this online but man it costs more than what I paid for my GPS. Would be nice to have integrated with the Garmin however.

Ahhhh...

Wouldn't it be just as easy... and a lot less $ expensive $, to just turn around and look... or use your rear view mirrors..!..?

I have used one of these for several years, mag mount, could be adapted to a suction cup I imagine. I stick it on my hitch to couple up with the trailer. Camera is rechargeable as is the display. My nuvi isn't one of the models that accepts a camera feed so the extra gizmo adds to the clutter but it really makes a bumper pull hitch up a simple single person affair.

It is but I like gadgets

Just what my husband always said until our new car came with a backup camera. He had to admit he loves it and wouldn't want to do without it....

I have a SUV and a convertible. The SUV I can see out of but not at the height of a child or an animal. There is a blind spot behind it where I cannot see. My bigger concern is the convertible, however. It's blind spot is bigger because the rear window is so small. It is very easy to not see cars in a parking lot (who all zoom along thinking they are completely visible). Putting down the top solves the problem but isn't always reasonably possible.
