I've hated not knowing if someone is tailgating me on the Interstate and try to pop around just as I try to change lanes. I didn't, however, want to run cables from the trailer to my truck to put in a rear view camera.
I recently found this;

So, I ordered it and had it installed in about 30 minutes. Now I have a 22' trailer so it's not all that far from the back of the trailer to the cab of my truck. But now I have my smart phone where I can easily see it and monitor what's behind me. Also, I can see when I'm backing into a campsite.
It is designed more for a license plate on a car when in reverse but it's got a switch to turn the backing guidelines off and on and works perfectly going down the highway. Just wire it to something that stays on when connected to the tow vehicle. I mounted mine just under one of the rear lights at the top of my trailer and simply run with my lights on.
