Opinions on aftermarket Bluetooth/wireless trailer cameras?

Trying to save some money, I don't think I'll order the Dodge options for trailer-tow cameras. They either force one to bump up to the next level equipment group then I am interested in, or cost a grand if one chooses the 'Tow-mode Digital Rear-View Pkg'.

I know Bluetooth's distance spec is 30', but it seems some of the other wireless technologies (don't know what protocols they use) go much further.

Does anyone have any good experience with an aftermarket wireless setup?
 
I've used a few different setups off Amazon for a few years now. For out latest trailer I installed one sold by AMTIFO on Amazon and it works surprisingly well for $140. It's worked without issue for almost two years now. I got the 7" monitor because I like to see behind me while driving and it does the job. None of them are perfect and many cost way more to do the same job. I have the monitor on the dash via Clutch-it magnetic mounts on a Bayou Goat Mount and it stays put and is quick and easy to put up or take down. Made a custom King Starboard rear camera mount so the light is still visible and the wiring goes under the light, not through it. Setup shown on old truck, haven't done a shot on the new one yet.

I have the Furrion 43 which loses signal every time I back up. Going to try and re-pair. I strongly recommend against buying.
