Back up camera in the vehicle has help me!

Lots of moving parts… Can you find anywhere that states life expectancy of a unit like this. Or how much maintenance is required to keep it functioning properly. These would be the first couple questions I ask…third would be price.

That looks slick and workable. I would want to try before buying but they certainly worked in a lot of versatility. I don’t see a lot of maintenance issues. If you don’t have a camera (and I do have one) it could be very functional. Slippery conditions could be the only downside I see. They don’t mention it, but putting the trailer/boat in the garage should certainly be simplified where a camera is rendered useless.

I looked at the video and thought this solves the problem I have. Getting the boat in the garage at the lake around a 90 degree turn in the driveway, 1″ of clearance on each side requires pushing it in by hand. The incline right at the door makes that very difficult. I thought this looked like the perfect solution. That is until I read the reviews on eTrailer and Amazon. There are enough 1 star reviews and the 1 star reviews on eTrailer were validated by the president of trailervalet. It looks like they have a lot of work to do on quality.

Hopefully they will get past it, because once they do, I would be happy to buy one.

Also note, on their site they have a video on how to change the tires on the unit. That coupled with a couple reviews makes me think the tires are poor quality and need to be replaced.

Thanks for the info that is good to know.

Speaking to just the issue of hooking up your trailer; I purchased a $50.00 after market back up camera and am completely satisfied. I watched the video and I’d still go with the back up camera for getting hooked up to the trailer.
