Mine did not have any camera or wiring, so I had to run a wire to the back. You can get longer wire, most of the kits come with 20 ft wire for cars and pickups. I just bought a dual camera/single monitor set-up and use only one camera mounted about 3 ft off the ground and above the hitch. Gives me basic rear view. I have the spare camera for when the mounted one craps out. Wonderful chinese quality you know?
CB is helpful to avoid a traffic jam like Bob suggested; and can help with detour routing. Normal driving it can be sometimes entertaining and colorful language, but I generally have it off and listen to radio or CDs.
