Truck Parking Sensors

[Vince Wood]

Here is my problem I'm having and I've looked on the internet and can't seem to find a solution besides mounting a back up camera to the truck which I don't want to do since it's getting sold in 2 more months.

At my old house where I parked there was a big crack in the driveway so I knew once I backed up to park my truck and the rear wheels hit the crack I could back up another foot, stop and be dead on my parking every time.

It's dark at night when I come home and I hate jumping out of the truck 2 or 3 times to make sure I'm not going to run into the garage with my truck. My truck barely clears the street in my driveway so it's kinda tight parking. I can't put anything in the driveway like a wheel chock. I was thinking about putting a light on the right rear of the truck that goes from green to red and another light that I can put in the planter that does the same thing so when I back up at night at my house when both lights turn red I know I'm on my mark and to stop.

I don't think my roommate would be very happy if I was to hit the garage at 2 Am, she wouldn't be very happy with me.

Does anyone make anything like this?

Stick something in the yard that lines up with the front of the truck that you can see at night when you back in.

Layout a 2x4 up near the garage when your back tire hits it you'll know....or spray a small line from the edge of the drive out about 6 inches so you can see it when the back tire hits.

Vince I know you are going to be selling this truck soon but the make a wireless camera system,the camera mounts on you license plate bolt holes,the screen just plugs into your 12 volt outlet and suction cups to your windshield.They have one that replaces your rearview mirror,go to kotulas.com

The camera I have has a magnet mount. I just put on truck every time I need it and hold monitor in my hand. Got it from mike Woolley

I can see some options. You can set a reflector so that the marker light hits it when you are backing up, or stops reflecting when you hit the right point.
