Attaching camera to roof

[tbrady]

Do you guys recommend putting the camera on the top (horizontal) of the trailer or on the rear wall just below the lights?  I would think that putting it on the very top would be better as far as the signal strength goes.

You are correct. The less metal between the antennas the better, especially close to the camera antenna. A nice feature of the Voyager is the on-screen signal indicator like your cell phone. Mo' bahs the betta'.

I'm not sure anyone has mentioned the specific unit yet. Here is what I (and others with Voyager) have.

I see that Voyager makes different sized monitors and monitors that accept more than 2 cameras. I've no experience with those, but if you have the space, the bigger the better for a monitor. On the other hand, I sometimes wish the 5.6" screen on mine were not so clunky and wonder about the smaller monitor they make. My ideal would be a small, lightweight  monitor with a wide-screen aspect ratio that would clip on the existing rear-view mirror. That is definitely not the 5.6" monitor I have now!

Thanks Merlin.  I'm actually looking at the one that has the smaller monitor (costs around $380).  Hopefully it will work as well as the one you guys bought!

Thanks for the link Merlin.  I tried ordering this same unit in Canada eh! and Amazon.CA wanted C$740.00 (~US$528.00)  So I opened up a new Amazon.COM, followed your link and purchased for US$355.00  (~C$497.00) a savings to me of C$243.00

Thanks to all for your install tips.  Looking forward to seeing behind me!

Cheers

Mike

I added a camera near the center clearance light.

Chappy I like the look.

The picture with the Blue Honda Pilot was with a 16 BH and we upgraded to a 21 BHS same color and no graphics.
