There is not a mirror made that will show me the far side of my trailer when backing a corner.
That is what I'm after, enhanced vision while backing. Heading down the road I'm all mirror all the time, the monitor will likely be folded away.

Do you want to mount the side cams on the truck or on the travel trailer? If you mount them on the truck you lose sight of either side past a certain angle but you have them for the truck all the time.

Absolutely on the trailer front corners. With a 50 degree angle camera there I can see the spot that disappears in a back in. The single cam in the back plus the far side cam plus the near mirror = perfection.
My wife gets out and helps, but by the time she lets me know while backing a tight spot that I need to stop, I've wasted a lot of time. Better to see and fix things early on, rather than get totally bound up and try and fix that.
I have a wireless cam that can't quite penetrate all the trailer structure when straight on, I need to move the transmitter forward and try again. It hooks to my in dash DVD.
If I can get that functional enough, maybe a split monitor and cabling and two cams will do.
