Trailer hitch camera

Been thinking of a simple, stand alone, even battery powered, hitch cam for the avalanche. Something just power and go. Seen a couple on Amazon.
Anyone ever seen one, used one?

I have an aftermarket back up camera that i leave at a low enough angle to see the rear bumper and hitch. It's not perfect and it's not a top down view, but it works enough to get it close.

Is it tied into your head unit? I was just kind of thinking one that Bluetooth my phone. Or even stand alone monitor.

Yes. After 4 YEARS it's finally time to replace the camera. Not because it's not working, but because the lens cover for the camera has yellowed/aged/fogged up to the point you can't see thru it very well anymore.
GM makes a camera that integrates with the stock head unit in our new Sierra. We might get it.

If we would have kept our camper parked in the shade, it would probably still be fine.
