I see Costco is selling these for 89.95. Has anyone used one of these on their FW? They look pretty neat but afraid that the distance from camera to monitor would be to great to get a signal.

Your question got me searching, I found it! They are made by Roadmaster, a discount auto electronic mnfg. The answer to your question is "25-30ft under optimal conditions. See the FAQ web page at FAQ answer
I knew it was to good to be true. Oh they are also sold at wallyword.
I could be wrong, your mileage may vary

Pure junk! No auto adjust for bright light conditions. My buddy and I both had units that went bad shortly after we purchased them. The mfgr. told both of us the camera is not designed for constant use, only occassional. Which means the reliability is horrible and failures start happening after 10s of hours...

BOught 2, returned them. They didn't have enough range to reach the back of my trailer. Actually, they didn't have enough range to reach the back of my truck.
