Got one on me car , make sure you can see the towball from where you are going to mount the camera ( bumpers are sometimes in the way ) , the cheap ones on ebay have very limited wiring , the one i bought had the wrong connectors , no wiring instructions and one cable was too short .
Makes hitching up a piece of cake , no more arguing with my wife .
Don't just rely on the camera when reversing , be aware of what's around / behind you.

Hi Daved

I have one and it is pretty good. I decided to change my car radio for one that I could have hands free bluetooth together with an MP3 player. In the end I got a 7" single DIN motorised touch screen radio with TV built in and a DVD player. Cost £150. It was possible to link a reversing camera into this, but I rewired it slightly so that it could be on all the time if necessary. The colour camera cost £12.

Our van is quite low to the ground, and by fitting the camera under the bumper, I can not only see obstacles behind the car, but also under the caravan when towing. This was really useful when going on the ferry to France. I can also see the towbar itself so aiding hitching up, though this is not a real problem with the motor mover.

My advice would be that the limiting factor will be the small screen. To demonstrate this, use an ordinary camera and take a picture behind the car, then print it out in reduced size and see what it looks like in the car where you would want to position the screen.

Hi, try these, you can get a monitor that clips onto/replaces your existing mirror
