I installed a backup camera in the bed of my truck after going from a extended cab to a dual cab truck and changed my 5th wheel hitch to a goose neck I could not see the ball in the bed and not understanding the wife's hand signal's and the truck bed is to tall for her to see well,I think this is the answer.

I mounted that kind of camera in my truck cap ...hidden in a non-functional third brake light way up at the back..I aimed it down so I could see my trailer tongue and ball....saves me a lot of time hooking up |

I heard a story of a fellow that was being tailgated. At the next stop sign he got out and busted the guy's headlights.
Concerning the fogger, that would be easy to do. A reservoir filled w/ tranny fluid and a hose down to the tail pipe would do it. It could be activated via switch from the cabin. A windshield washer pump would probably work just fine. Tranny fluid might be too caustic. A fuel injector would probably work as well. |

Phil I have always wanted to hook a electric motor to my tailgate so I could flip a switch and have the tailgate slowly lower. By flipping another switch I could have my 1 inch cannon slowly go to the back of the truck. Guess where it would point. Alan |

Well then Phil, mount that BB gun in the truck bed with a hold drilled in tailgate for the barrel. Pull a string to pull the trigger & make a nice hole in his radiator. As long as you aren't too close to home, those types won't be following you long! Hmmm....maybe my imagination can get me into trouble!
Okay Bond, James Bond! how about a fogger unit on my exhaust? |

A thumb switch on the brake lights will move them back Phil! |

I have been thinking of doing that to my truck with the commercial cap so that I can see the SUV's that tailgate so close you can not see them in the side view mirrors. |

Very cool Ron! Even when I open my gate on my Durango to attach the hitch, I have to get into an awkward position to see the ball and aim into the trailer. |

That will be very handy! Fine idea. |
