what's the farthest you're comfortable driving on the road?

my wife got me a backup camera last year for fathers day, man it makes hooking up SOOOO much easier. I hard wired it to a switch on the dash so I could turn it on when I want, not just when ever it's in reverse. good thing it doesn't take much juice, I have been known to forget about it being on....

Sweet! A back-up camera is on my Christmas Wish List. Is yours wired or wireless? Would really strong magnetic mounts affect the picture? I want to be able to move the cameras around, depending on the project at hand.

I drove a IH 1480 combine about 40 miles going about 14MPH to deliver it to a farmer one time back home in MT, but most if it was gravel.

I was on my BIL's farm when each of three new JD combines were delivered over the years,,
in each case, the machine was driven the 40+ miles from the dealer to the farm.

Then, twice a year, the combine was driven to the rental land to harvest 300 acres,, about 25 miles away,,
Moving the combine was always nerve wracking,,, it was the widest machine that we moved,,,

mines wireless, except for the power leads. one thing I learned quick, is I painted the hitches on my trailers white so they'd show up better. and if you're backing into the sun, forget it....

this one has the mount that goes over the license plate, but it's holes so you have to take the plate off to move it around. I did put on some quick connects and run a set of power wires under my camper and fixed a mount in the middle of the bumper so I could use it when backing into a camping spot. Then she got me a go pro, and I stuck one of the extra mounts on the side of the camera and I can monitor it with my tablet on the console and it's a lot bigger screen.

I like the idea of a magnet mount though, that could be handy

Hahahaha. The "Pucker Factor" is immense. I helped move some 28' wide portable classrooms 75 miles on a two lane highway with few shoulders or pullouts.

I searched the fuller brush company's brochures, they don't have a brush strong enough to get the pucker marks out of any kind of seat :laughing:
