Wondering about the working distance. Will this work behind my travel trailer a distance of 22 feet from behind my tow vehicle?

I don't know if it will remotely work off the backup lights on a trailer or not. The clarity of the camera may not give you the depth preseption you are looking for. I don't know if the clarity can be adjusted. I am still pleased with mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I can't see where this wouldn't work with any vehicle. I used it for a heavy equipment trailer hauling a farm tractor 900 miles and it was an incredible unit in my opinion. Very easy to install, easy to set up, easy to program, and very adaptive to any situation. Unless there's some conflict with a factory wiring harness to the hitch, it should be plug and play.

When mine worked, it was good for probably 200 ft. I think they claim 300? Don't leave in truck, or anywhere its hot, mine stopped working.

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

Not sure how far you want to go. I have used it with a 100 foot extension cord with no problem. If you are worried, go with a gas blower.

As with any Antenna.... It is a matter of Antenna Height above the ground versus trhe number of signals in the surrounding area... Mounted on top of my Travel Trailer I received excellent reception of stations 75-100 miles away, by using the amplifier that came with this unit... Hope that helps you.....

Not sure. I used it on a 32 ft. motor home and worked great. Did not try it for distance more than that.

I've had it about 6-8 feet away and it seemed ok. I think it would work further away.

It depends on the environment. It has worked fine 50' away but not always. 20' to 30' seems pretty dependable.

It depends on how you intend to use it. If you are putting it on your travel travel to see behind it, it will be a hassle. If you are putting it on your vehicle which tows the trailer, it will be very easy after the initial installation.

It should work...I use mine on a 4600 lb travel trailer and it works on flat hard surfaces but it's not easy. Keep the tires pumped up!

Will it go the distance? That is a very good question. It really depends on your application. If you are using a typical 4 watt radio then how much distance can you really expect anyway? There are a lot of factors that determine how far a radio will talk. When the skip is really rolling it makes it difficult to talk any meaningful distance. However, the next thing you know some guy in Mexico is trying to talk to you. As far as the antenna its self goes, I found that the ease of installation and portability made it a viable contender for what I needed at work. Using a cigarette lighter plug for a power supply I could move from vehicle to vehicle in less than 5 minutes and be talking away. The only real issue I had with the Little Wil was I could not get the SWRs down to an acceptable level. I finally returned it and mounted a 4' Firefly on a 5" magnet mount I picked up at a truck stop. I had my radio worked on and it seems to operate much better. The SWRs were a breeze to get right. Under no skip conditions (early morning) I can talk to my fellow employees 20 miles away. In this do it yourself and save world we live in it is difficult at best to gain enough information to make a good decision concerning what is the best for you. If you are new to using CBs it might be a good idea to consult a CB shop or quiz some of the on line retailers like CB World to help you decide what will be best for your application. I do know about five guys that run this antenna and they seem to like it OK. All in all, if you can get the SWRs in line with this antenna I would say that it would be OK for running down the highway. Hope this helps.

It's not for highway use, but would work on a small yard trailer. Says Load Range 8 at 22PSI. Couldn't see a rating in lbs.

I did not test for distance, but I would estimate it to be up to 25 feet.THE BIG PLUS for this device is that it eliminated false actuations from blowing shrubbery etc.

I tried parking my truck backed up to my 27' fifth wheel and was NOT able to get a picture with the camera at the rear end of my trailer. It seems the range is about 20'

LOL Actually I am working on mounting it right now. It depends on the distance. If it's just a couple hundred feet or less, it will work. With the testing I have done so far, before permanently mounting it, it will go 200 ft. and through my block house. There are two rock terraces in front of my house that are keeping it from going further though, so I am mounting it higher off of the ground and I will see if that works.

Works great with my 4 door crew cab truck. Your trailer brake is 50 ft from your tow connection? Seems awful far.
