A dash cam is a small camera that quietly records the road while you drive, so if something happens you have proof of exactly what occurred. For anyone towing a trailer or driving a big motorhome, that proof can matter a great deal. It can also keep an eye on your rig while it sits parked. This guide explains the kinds of cameras, how to set one up, and how to use the footage if you ever need it.
