Trailer Owners, Wolfbox Needs Your Help Please!!!

Tire pressure and 3 views.

Also, I've learned the transmitter needs to be on the front of the trailer.

I tow a 22’ car hauler with side by sides, golf carts, etc. It would be awesome to have a camera view from the rear of the trailer looking forward to ensure tie down points are remaining secure.

Great idea. Never thought about tie downs.

I pull multiple trailers for various reasons. For my RV T/T that is almost 28ft long and 8ft wide. I use a Furion rv setup with a rear camera and side marker cameras. If WolfBox produced a similar setup, I would convert. I need to be able to see the rear and blinds pots when making lane changes or while backingup. I have mirror extensions, but they're still slightly too small and the Jeep is narrow. If you made cameras that mounted on the mirrors that would be cool too.

LOVE my Sonic. I have the SN220VRB with the outdoor kitchen. Ours is 27' LOA and 7 1/2' wide. Mine comes in at around 5,100 lbs with all we want or need. I tow mine with my Overland (ordered 5/19, delivered 7/19).

My General RV dealer sells TPMS kits but, dayum are the expensive...anywhere from $350 to $500, NOT including installation. Would be nice to have though.

They tried the same with me, I only have a single axle camper, so avoiding blowouts if possible is preferred lol.

Amazon carries them for about 60.00.

I'm fortunate to have a twin axle trailer considering I had a sidewall blowout on the Cross Bronx Expressway (at least I was 3/4 the way across it so pulling off was a bit easier). It was the trailing axle that had the blowout. Cheap Chinese made tires. The only reason I knew about it was some good Samaritan pulled up next to me blowing his horn and when I lowered my window, he told me about the blowout. As I was in the center lane, he also ran interference for me to get over and take the next exit which was less than a 1/4 mile. If I had a TPMS, I would have known right away about the blowout. I'll hafta look at Amazon for them.

I do know that General RV's prices are way out of line in how high they are but, the only reason I go there is that they bought the trailer dealership I bought mine from and, they're the only game in town for state inspections and any repairs needed(at $225/hour labor rates ) plus, they're about 2 1/4 miles from my home so, there's that...

Dear friends,

Wolfbox needs your help please!

We are looking for some informative input or generic demand from you guys regarding cameras. To get you started, Here're some questions:

• When you are towing a trailer, what do you want to monitor and why?
• How do you like to mount cameras?
• What do you concern the most when mounting the cam?

Any other information is appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

For monitoring - I'm always looking for passing lanes and tire pressures of the trailer.

I upgraded the trailer rear camera to give me more width for backing up and coverage of passing lanes

Biggest concern on mounting camera's, wiring and adhesion... I don't want tp poke more holes and how am I powering it.

For tire pressures I ordered this from Amazon and it works AWESOME!!! Not very expensive and installation is super simple. Just screw the monitors on your valve stems and off ya go. Bought mine back in early October and used them on a trip to Watkins Glen, NY (from the Philly area), mid October, and they worked perfectly monitoring the tire pressures on my twin axle travel trailer. Set the monitor on my dash and it was able to et the signal from the monitors.

Wireless units that mount to both sides on the front and then on the rear. Helps for clearance down the sides and keeps an eye on things. The micro smart car that sneaks up into the blind spot, smoking wheel bearings, or losing gear in the wind can be easily identified if you can see it happening.

Also for insurance purposes. People are impatient. A trailer is a roadblock. Too many want to get around the roadblock and end up in an accident. If it involves the trailer, having evidence that you’re towing properly goes a long way.

Thank you for your thoughts. It helps us understand your needs better. Cheers!

I've been towing for 30 years. Everything from heavy equipment on a flatbed, to full box trailers up to 30' in length, to car haulers, to utility trailers, etc. There hasn't been a single day that I've wished for a camera, if I'm being honest. It's never crossed my mind.

If you want to develop something truly useful, I'd suggest a nice trailer tire TPMS system. That would increase safety tremendously.

I know this doesn’t mean much….. I have a 17.5’ bass boat. But an overall thought (mostly for Jeep).

In a perfect world….. <cough Jeep needs to work on this from a factory option>

A wireless camera that you can attache anywhere (magnet, tywrap, etc) and be able to wirelessly transmit to a module on the Jeep (at tailgate perhaps)?? And it needs to be viewable on the Uconnect screen.

For aftermarket …. Same idea…. I‘d love to see what’s immediately behind the boat. All too often, these jackasses appear to be soooo damn close to the Mercury (motor). I don’t want a camera permanently attached to the boat (especially when I’m out on the water) and/or have to run it and wiring every weekend.

I love your idea of having the side cameras on the mirrors along with the rear facing camera.

A wireless under the body magnetic camera.
Dust and water proof.

And able to withstand getting smashed against huge rocks . ( okay that last thing was a joke ) but yeah wireless magnetic dust and water proof
