Reversing Camera Install

paddlepop

Hi all,

I have just purchased a new motorhome! well new to me.
As i am totally new to this whole new world, and have a fear of reversing over things i want to install a dual/twin reversing camera.
The motorhome is a 4 berth Talbot Autoquest. I like those cameras where you can see both down the road and directly behind you, a wired one too as i hear they offer better picture.
So what and where can i buy one and who can install it for me? Any advice/recommendations would be great!

Thanks all

My top tip in the meantime is if you are in any doubt whatsoever get your passenger out to watch behind when reversing.... and make sure they can see you in the mirror and can shout etc...

Let us know how you get on with solution... I need to install reversing camera to monitor trailer load.

yes i do end up sending someone out just to make sure although the side mirrors offer great visibility-im impressed by how much i can see.
Havent got one yet but will post here when i do. Our first night away is tomorrow so hoping all goes well for us!

You may or may not know that for a good nights sleep level your camper as best you can. A slight bias toward your feet is preferable to the other way..... I can remember waking up with Guinness flowing back up my throat in the early days

A waeco camera is about 450€ plus fitting,quite expensive but a good product, i fitted it myself , bought in Donagheys
Also fitted a cheapy to my van, 94€ incl postage, Works as good as the waeco

I fitted one of these to my regular van recently and it works great. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Anti-120-CMOS-Fog-Night-Vision-Waterproof-Car-Rear-View-Reverse-Backup-Camera-P-/272823672362?hash=item3f858ede2a:g:-7MAAOSwGdhZo~8f Got this screen to go with it: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Rearview-Monitor-Car-LCD-4-3-Camera-DVD-CD-Black-J8K7-/142457232471?hash=item212b1cdc57:g:r74AAOSwol5Yy5i2

I took the camera off the mount, drilled a hole in the back door of the van and mounted the camera in the hole. Very discreet and works great. I can now see the towball and can reverse it right under the caravan hitch every time!

For the money you can't go wrong (IMO)
