I opted to mount one of my rear view cameras in the trailer hitch opening (since I never tow). Bought a plastic hitch plug, drilled a hole in it to mount he camera, and ran the wiring out the other end of the hitch. I chose to connect the power to the turn on lead for the amp which is also back there, so I could switch to the camera view when my cargo area was loaded up and I couldn't use the rear view mirror to see what was behind me. Worked out pretty well
I like that install. Nice and clean.
We do, however rarely, need a truck for hauling from time to time.
Our truck was totalled and we had to buy something. I wanted another old pickup. I don't really care for SUVs but we couldn't find a used truck in the price range we wanted that wasn't beat to 'animal feces'.
I didn't even know this thing existed until we found it on craigslist and it does feature a 6' truck bed with tie downs. (with 4' of it open to the sky after a few of minutes pulling levers and pushing buttons)
I'm going to peek under this access panel. Maybe I can mount it to that panel. I have to look closer at the plate too, I think the top screws are supposed to go into the body like the bottom. I may be able to modify the cam plate mounting bracket to offest the cam just a few inches to the side so it leaves room to access the switch.
This endgate (new terms I learned, on the XUV it's "midgate" and "endgate") has a lot of electrical in it that comes in through a big conduit in the bottom corner. It shouldn't be too hard to pull a few more wires through it.
