Reversing Camera

Most people on the caravaner's forum have purchased theirs from eBay (Hong Kong) and fitted it themselves.

We did so this year, and chose a 'wireless' type to avoid wires running from back of caravan to car. As we had a solid metal caravan, this was inadequate and we hat to hard wire it anyway.

We bought it and found it invaluable, not for reversing, but for seeing clearly behind us on the road. A great help particularly when we were touring Tasmania on narrow winding roads.

The topic has been discussed a few times on this forum (do a search), but more often on the caravaner's forum (which doesn't have a good search facility).

I've had one for fifteen months on my 6.7 metre van.
Make reversing easier...... No, not at all, except you can back right up to a post.
The reason is it's so wide angle you have to back your van by conventional means (mirrors) to tell where and how fast it's swinging.

However, on the road it's brilliant.
You can see exactly what's happening behing including lanes either side such as on a three lane road- wouldn't want to be without it.
I forget what brand mine is- it uses a replacement internal rear view mirror head with an LCD screen built in. Came with the van from a mob in Melbourne...
Cheers

This is a typical example of the "Reversing Mirror" type on Ebay
