Best backup camera

We are new to RV'ing and purchased a used 2019 Thor Four Winds C class in order to drive across country when we moved last summer. Our unit was a former rental which has no backup camera provisions. I've been looking at the many models of aftermarket camera systems and all seem to have shortfalls, in low monitor resolution or size or not daylight viewable and the cameras are from 100 to 150 degrees of viewing angle. I prefer a wireless system because of the challenges of running cables. I am looking for a recommendation of the best system that has a 120 degree of view or greater and ideally a 7" monitor with good resolution. Please let me know what you installed and why you chose it.

Any dash cam with a phone app is a good bet.
It suction cups to the inside of your rear window and requires no wiring.

Mine are older
Yi brand cameras.

Spend $10 on a used phone or use one of your old phones.
One of mine works on an old galaxy3.
But
Ideal is a 10 inch android tablet with the camera app installed and all kinds of map and weather programs.

$99 tablet doing amazing things, a $50 dash cam.

Well since most of our MHs came with BU cameras we haven't installed anything. Have you looked at https://www.rearviewsafety.com/?
