Trailer Loading Camera
Loading the ZLE on a trailer without a spotter can be a challenge with the limited visibility. I managed to bread off one of the canards even with a spotter. Anybody come up with a simple forward looking camera setup for this? Or perhaps one to mount at the front of the trailer facing the car.

Sounds like your spotter wasn't doing too good of a job :(
I usually just stick my head out the driver's window and make sure I'm in the right spot relative to the trailer fender on the driver's side when I do it on my own. Can cut it close to the driver side and be OK on the passenger side that way. If not, what about using mirrors on the trailer? I've not personally seen a camera setup for this on a Camaro, but I haven't done much searching either.

Mount a Go Pro somewhere and use the app.

My ancient GoPro won’t do it. Guess it’s time for an upgrade.

There are a few front camera options out there that integrate with the center screen. They are meant for parking assistance but might help with lining up to drive onto a trailer too.

I load solo 100% of the time, I stick my head out of the drivers window and watch the left front tire clearance to the trailer side, I also have a wheel stop that I put on the trailer so I know how far to pull up.
