The Wheelie Bin is just too handy to leave at
home thus no reversing camera.
Has anyone gone for an independent reversing camera with a decent screen?
.... or is it simpler to relocate the original?
A certain Snow Gum would appreciate any assistance ;)
Cheers

I think that he is talking about the rubbish bag that attaches to the spare wheel that is mounted on the rear of the car.
It is an issue for my Prado with the camera in the centre of the spare wheel, renders it useless if I leave the rubbish bag on.
dad,
I take the rubbish bag off and place it either in the rear of the tug or in the camper and empty it at the first opportunity.
No advice able to be given in relocating the camera or adding an additional one.
There will be people on here who have done both.
Might help to define the issue better.

See if we can't put it in pictures.

FJ Cruiser - vehicle info from profile

Bush Ranger Wheelie Bin

Put it all together - FJ Cruiser and Wheelie Bin

Happy Snow Gums
Can't help with alternative rear view cameras, but if you google FJ Cruiser Rearview cameras, you will get heaps of ideas for alternative mounting locations.
If you can't move it, you could easily slice a generic camera into the existing system.
Don't forget moving it may have an effect on the reverse warning system.

Don't you mean, See if we CAN put it in pictures.
TO see if we can't, we just don't, then it isn't done.

Is that really the best you can do?
These sort of responses are quite tiresome and do nothing to answer the OP's question.
Normally I don't respond to such petty attacks on people's desire to appear better or smarter than others, but it appears that it is fast becoming the norm on the
forum. Perhaps that is why some of our regular contributors don't post as much anymore.

LOL, Wheelie Lad's, the question, that the sharper ones picked up, was this:
- A Wheelie Bin in a 4WD context is a heavy duty Rubbish/Firewood Bag attached to the spare.
- Toyota's have their reversing camera installed in the centre of the spare
- When the Wheelie :) is covered in red clay and full of rubbish far from the maddening crowd, disconnecting is a less appealing option to regain use of the reversing camera.
I've found the solution elsewhere but my thanks to all at ExploreOz for the entertainment. Brilliant
Cheers

Yup, a question posed in plain english would elicit a much more useful response...

Sounds as if the OP thinks it is all a big joke - the tread put up for his own entertainment.

He actually entertained a lot of people.
Quite funny really. How our language around Australia, does vary quite a bit across the country. I didn't think of the rubbish bag as a wheelie bin, and hadn't come across "snow gum" either. Every area has different little sayings etc.
Just great heaps of people have had a laugh.
But , Dad , what was your solution ? After all you've got us curious now!
Cheers

Don't think its a case of language variation, more like just a strange old fart.

Oh
well, we're probably all a bit strange to someone else sometimes. I'm a bit strange when I look at myself sometimes.
After all the chatter on this the OP's post was just not explained in enough detail.
Rereading I see "wheelie bin "is covering the camera, but to me a wheelie bin is the one you wheel out for the collection, so therefore my confusion.
