Best Accessories Ever Purchased !

Another accessory I wouldnt be without now is a rear view camera mound on the back of the van. Still have the mirrors but the camera beats them "hands down"  in traffic to see who is tucked up close behind , when lane changing or reversing.

I have tried several methods. A wired system is the most reliable but more of a faff installing, it needs a cable run through the length of the outfit and another plug joint at the towbar point. I have done it several times but now have a wireless system. The monitor is separate with associated wires and the camera and transmitter at the rear of the van needs a 12v supply when traveling. Much of the 12v system is isolated in the van the but the fridge supply could be used or as I do a feed off the battery

These two pictures illustrate the exact same view from a camera and from a mirror

I have this on my Coachman, it is called a rear window.

From the drivers seat in my Sorento, i can see through the caravan and out through the rear window, perhaps in a more elongated view than via a camera but it works I find it most useful when returning to lane after overtaking, but i still look for that friendly flash from the HGV's.
