I mounted the transmitter inside the above-bed cabinet. Are you saying it would be better to have as direct a line of sight as possible? I probably could move the transmitter inside one of the bedside cabinets and get it a bit lower.

One bit of info for suggestion... I too thought that I would like the camera mounted up high but then considered the road grime that adheres to the back of the trailer when traveling in rain, even up high. If the camera is mounted up high, it will be difficult to clean off the camera lens since I do not have a factory mounted ladder, so I will be mounting my camera lower for easy cleaning. I know on my truck the backup camera does need to be cleaned more frequently than I'd like... so keep the Garmin camera location into consideration if you don't have a factory mounted ladder.

I went thru this with my BC-30 2 months ago. power is from the tail light. camera mounted below rear window of trailer.. about 7 feet high.
trailer is 30 feet fiberglass type.. not metal.
worked poorly.. and screen refresh was very slow.
needed to get the 50 foot extension cable ($30.00).. mounted transmitter under the propane tank cover. and power again is from tail light wires near front battery area. camera itself was NOT moved.
worked very well and refresh is fast.
and Garmin is mounted on top of dashboard.. both the 2597LMT and 770LMTHD units.
truck is F 250 supercab long bed.
