: Well, that would probably work. And it would avoid the question of
: drilling holes in the wall of the trailer to route power to it.
One thing to keep in mind also is that these wireless cameras
generally transmit somewhere around 2.4 Ghz, which metal will do a
great job of blocking, so if the back and/or top of your trailer has
any sheet metal in it, getting the signal inside (or up to the truck)
could be problematic. I have a feeling that this is going to require
a wire from the trailer to the truck, one way or another.
