|
|
| With all the new high tech stuff out there, I was curious on the new semi's do they have a camera stalled in the back so you can see behide you. Maybe when your backing up or just for security reasons. Like for example GrayHound or even the tour busses I have seen them there like a screen montior and you can see all around in your blind spot. Just curious if they have that out yet. or If thats a thing never going to happen? not sure just wondering lol. |

| You can add one yourself for a couple hundred bucks. I imagine it might be an option from some manufacturers but I'll be willing to bet that it is a $1,000 option for $200 worth of equipment. :lol: |

Camping World sells those.
Are you gonna move that camera from trailer to trailer?
Might as well install back-up lights on the trailer too (which is an excellant idea) :wink: |

A USX driver in the 90's designed this system. I hope they didnt screw him out of it. :? |
