    The camera can pivot up and down. It is a little hard to move but doable, it clicks into each position.

    CC Thanks for the speed reply. You beat me to it Yes the the camera is adjustable. I adjusted mine to see my bikes as well as the area behind me. It works awesome when the spotter wants to get behind the trailer while backing up. The wife knows that she can still give the look from over 40 feet away and through a trailer and tow vehicle LoL. Joking aside. The rear camera has been awesome for the new trailer. I know we did it before without one. It's now one of those things where you say, why didn't we have one before. Oh yeah that's right. It would have been too difficult to install/use/ expensive/ the list goes on. Grand Designs had a great thought when they wired the rear on the newer trailers for the camera. Everything is right there.


    I have another mod coming soon. Parts on order for the replacement of the drain plug for the hot water heater. I had to google some of the rust off my brain and locate some parts for this one. However, no more draining off the hot water heater around the electronics or hard to reach plugs. I use to have a tube on my previous trailer. I wish I was able to find the decals for inside of the WH. They got wiped out after a couple of drainings. I think it was nothing super good like wiring schematics or info on the water heater itself :P

    I have trouble with that, since the bottom of the tanks are round.

    Aye, that is true. Center the round part of the sensor on the lowest point of the round part of the tank. It ends up parallel to the tank holder on the trailer, between the tank and the platform the tanks sit on. It seems to fit just right without the plastic pieces they send along to clip to the bottom of the tank.

    Thanks for the tip. It’s our first time having the rear camera after towing for 35 years and love it. We just wondered how to raise it up. Apparently our dealership didn’t check it after installing it.

    Thanks for the information. We tried it once but couldn’t get it to move. We’ll try harder. Thanks!

    Some great mods, appreciate you sharing them with us.
    *Interested in what you did with the hot water heater to include parts also interested in what bike rack you went with.
    *Wife has been on me to buy a bike rack and honestly not sure what brands to even start looking at. We purchased one 10 years ago to go one the wife's car but that darn bike rack moved around more like a belly dancer behind her car.

    Water Heater mod is coming. I didn't want to ramble on about the parts without pictures. I am hoping to get out to the trailer sometime this weekend to install it and get one last check in before our first trip of the season in about 10 days.

    We had a bike rack similar in nature. It was very lose in the receiver. It didn't matter what vehicle it was installed on or the if a pin lock or bolt. It was wobbly. It was an Allen bike rack form Walmart I think. We never got to use it on the old trailer since we didn't have a real bumper or even a place to mount a 2 inch receiver. The previous trailer was too heavy for a double hitch. The A frame was too light weight for a bike rack. One of the selling points for us was a 2 inch receiver that was rated for 300 pounds. It can work for cargo platform or in our case a bike rack.

    The bike rack is a Yakima Long Haul. Purchased of Amazon warehouse deal. It was in perfect condition. It's stiff on both the truck and the trailer. However it does need a mounting device for women or alternative frame bikes. If you do not have a high cross bar, then you need the mount adapter. However, it hold our 3 bikes plus another if needed without a problem. It has a nice locking cable for securing the bikes while on the road. It's pretty easy to mount to the truck for the ride to the storage lot and it doesn't take much time for the transfer to or from the trailer when on site. My wife and daughter will offload the truck into the trailer while I work on getting the bike rack mounted to the trailer and the hitch for the trailer set up. Anyway, I should take a picture or 2 the next time I have the set up on the truck and on the trailer. One thing is I found if I have all 3 bikes on the trailer, I need to add water for some weight balancing. Otherwise it can get a bit funky depending on the road conditions. If I add about 25 gallons it works well.
