Here's mine in the middle of spare. I love the location but it will be little longer to reinstall if I ever had to use that spare and I'm away from home. Click image for larger version

Great idea Johnkay.. But I think that would drive me nuts if I had to pull the spare.

I have an Expo 1 rear bumper and stuck the camera right to the bumper just above the trailer hitch. Works perfect and no hitch in the line of sight...unobstructed 180 degree. With the lock pick, I can actually have the camera in view on the mygig while driving and it covers my blind spots. you only notice the camera on the bumper if know it's there.
