Backup camera while towing? - absolutely for me. Last year, while towing through South Dakota and making a signaled fast-rolling left hand turn into a rest area, I could not see that a sports car had barreled down on us at a high speed from behind with plans to pass us. He hit the left hand shoulder (grass and mud literally flying) as I caught a last second glimpse of him in my trailer mirror. I quickly abandoned the turn and swerved back into our lane to avoid a collision. It was a VERY close call... and I pull a relatively agile and stable 19 foot travel trailer with WDH/sway control. It could have been a very different story.

Our new backup camera, always ON now while towing, takes away that scenario.
