Nice. If that happens you definitely need to get pics! Just so we can all laugh at that moron:D

Definitely will. And it sticks out of the hitch a good 6" too. I'll have to get some pics of it for ya.

Yeah it will leave a mark, I am sure a few people walked away from it cursing. I have my backup camera tack welded to it for lining up the boat trailer ball so I mentally try to avoid it ahead of time.
My backup cam is mounted dead center of the plastic cover pads on my rear bumper. It looks directly over my the ball on the hitch. I love it for hooking up to the boat trailer. So much easier.

Chemical guys goodie for my key ring! Got to stop in the yesterday on the way home from LAX to pick up a few things I’m out of. Couldn’t do an all out shopping spree for everything I needed but that’s ok. Enough to get my gear restocked for now. Gave me a little enjoyment after a long day of travel yesterday!

What do you use? Do you have pics of it? Mine was originally one of those kind that bolted to the license plate bolts. Used to be mounted on my '89 Burb. When I swapped it over to this Tahoe I didn't realize how much higher it sat and I would need a 6" drop hitch. Problem is the plate mounted camera couldn't see the ball, just the top of the hitch. So I took the camera off the bracket and zip tied it to the rear wiper LOL, so it was looking down at the ball. Eventually that one died so I bought another camera that had a metal bracket on it so i trimmed it and tacked it to the top of the hitch looking down at the top of the ball.

It’s the camera that came with my clarion NX405 headunit. It’s just a little square camera with a small mounting around the base of it. The shop just screwed it into the plastic pads on my rear bumper. But the bumper and tailgate setup on your NNBS is different than mine which is what allows me to have it mounted there. I have that narrow band in the middle of my bumper in the middle sections of the step pad above the license plate because mine is mounted there, instead of up high on the lfotgate like yours, and there’s about an inch gap between those and the bottom of the liftgate. So that camera fits perfect there. Your bumper is different because the plate doesn’t mount there. So where the bumper pad meets the liftgate there now extra room.
