Reversing camera on caravan

G'day Keith
The wireless camera at the rear of the van has to have power if run all the time, so some supply has to be run to the rear from a suitable source.

I have two wired cameras which can be viewed alternately. Their views just overlap in the middle and you can therefore see around corners a bit with the wide overall view when reversing.
The RHS one, midway up above RH tail light, has it's bottom of screen view at ground level set to a known distance so when reversing you can confidently move up to a visible object at the rear and have safety clearance. It basically faces down but straight rearward and approaching vehicles can be seen before they overtake.

The LHS one is positioned high up on the ridge and therefore you can see the line of the side of the van and to the left somewhat. That allows reverse parallel parking if required which is also handy when reversing into a bay where the vehicle is skewed to the right and mirrors are not able to show where the van's LH rear corner is, relative to gutters and buildings etc.
All personal choice though. What suits me may not be what others want.

I have a unit wired in which is capable of taking 3 cameras - I have only two fitted at this stage, both powered from the vehicle battery. It was not unduly expensive from memory, but I did have the wiring run through the van chassis at the build stage.
One camera is at roof level on the rear of the van, and gives me all the vision I require for reversing, and is left on constantly for rear view when towing.
The other camera is set above the tow bar to assist in hitching (plus I have the normal reversing camera for the ute).
Cheers,

The best location is the one that gives you the view you want.

You have wireless so you can move it around and see how it looks in the cabin.

Up high is best, pointing down a little so it gets less glare. Also, it is up from the water splash off the road a little so will get less dirty.

However, my experience with wireless monitors on the back of a van is that it won't matter where you put it. they are too unreliable at that distance.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll mount it high and point it down a little. The existing mirrors work fine for longer distances.
I do appreciate the advice.
