Okay, so question is,.... Do you folks have any creative solutions for an alternate camera type and location? Does anyone have any thoughts on if in fact the camper can be mounted inside of the tailgate of the 6 3/4 F-250 truck bed? I am all ears!!!

Has anyone mounted a Hawk FWC inside of the F-250 tailgate?

You might check out some forums that are specific to your truck. Or what I would do is call a reputable car stereo shop in your area. They will likely be your best resource and if they are any good, they will have a solution.
My truck is old and I so all I did was replace the head unit and mount the camera on the bumper over the license plate. I use it for hooking up trailers and it's one of the best mods/accessories I've added, even more so with the camper.

Gotcha... I don't think a new Hawk is going to allow you to close the the gate on a shortbox. Not from what I have seen and researched.
Can you remove the camera from the gate? or will that still void the warranty? I think I'd just bite the bullet and tap the feed in the rear and call it good. Being an '11 you probably don't have a lot of warranty left. But then I've never been one to worry about that stuff. I need and want my rig a certain way and I'll do what I need to. If I void a warranty...oh well... gotta pay to play.

Or perhaps you can buy a second Ford camera and install it where ever you need/want it to be?
Where does that road go?

That's what I'm going to do. Either by a new GM camera or try and find one in a junk yard.
