I encountered little difference (field of view) with my install. Just the difference you’d expect with the camera being a bit lower than before, as noted by Wandering Sagebrush. And it’s nice that it works well with the navigation screen that you already have on your truck dashboard. John.

What I did with my F350, prior to knockoffs being available was order a replacement tailgate camera and wiring.   I put it in a plastic box and made a mount to go under the rear of my Northern Lite.  I think the camera and harness came to $130.  You might be able to do that with your Ranger.

 

i noticed your steps.  I used an Otto Step on my old Ranger and Bobcat.  On the new CC Ranger, I’ll probably use it again if I can find a camper I like.

 

Airbags?

X2 on OEM cam.

I did the same on my Tacoma, purchase the camera with wiring and there are many camera boxes out there you can mount. On the Tacoma they use some weird voltage so I was never able to get a 3rd party camera to work.

I also have a Tacoma, but should work the same for a Ranger.  I just went to a junk yard and removed a camera from a wrecked Taco with its wiring.  Cost $8.00 and just bent a simple aluminum bracket to hold it and point at the right angle.  I take my camper off for the winter so wanted to leave the OEM camera in my tailgate when I put it back on.

I am getting ready to have a Fleet installed on my 2019 Ranger. What did you do with the backup camera on the tailgate? Can in be "re-installed" somewhere near the bumper below the the camper?  Thanks
