I need to stop once the hitch/shackle (in the camera view) changes from covering the ground to covering the wall.I also invested in two devices, IIRC, that other forum members suggested in previous posts, both of which are available on Amazon: sonar distance sensors and heavy rubber curb stops. I have a little more room to spare, about 8 to 10 inches, but I try to allow 2 to 3 inches for my rear bumper and tailgate to clear the garage door, and still maintain at least 5 to 6 inches clearance from the front wall (which you call the back wall). The hardest part is keeping the sonar sensors taped to the front wall without permanently gluing or screwing them in place. I haven't found a painter's tape yet that won't slowly peel off in summer heat and humidity.

You'd have the problem backing in of where to put the LED distance display for the sonar sensors so that you could see it. Your tailgate camera would be so close to the wall that I'm not sure that the camera could read the LED display. Maybe the camera on the back of the cab that looks back over the bed could see the distance display mounted high on the wall - or maybe driving straight in rather than backing in would work? Your rear-view mirror, when looking through the rear window, would reverse the display numbers from left to right (a mirror image).
I tried 2pd today, after reading all of this, and I need to try again. Does it creep while the brakes is still applied? My old diesel did that, and the amount of precision was fantastic. It felt a little rough today with 2pd. Will try again tomorrow.
