Not towing, but just for use in traffic and while backing up, I (well, my son) wired in a sub-$100 camera from Amazon that included 50' of signal cable, camera, monitor and mount.

Well worth adding, cheap too. I'd avoid wireless simply because that adds yet another layer of "stuff not working" and complexity.

I replaced the original wired camera on my motorhome with a newer wireless model. Wired it into the power for the running lights. That was almost ten years ago and it has worked flawlessly. Definitely like being able to see my toad behind the motorhome and great for lane changes when your at about 55-60 feet long.
