Hi fredireco,and Grampian91, thanks for your solution, did consider wiring through car, but as stated it is a lease car and I do not wish to tamper with internal wiring, it’s a hassle running cables under carpet or facia panels, passed airbag wiring, and having to remove cables when car is returned, cables on floor of car would get damaged by clumsy grandkids, and I like everything neat and tidally tucked away out of harms way, bought a Maplins wireless reversing kit about £100 a few years ago, overpriced crap, worked well for 14month and started to give very poor picture, now its like watching TV without aerial, not be buying camera from there again, as they say “once bitten”. Hunt is on for a fairly good system, so hopefully you good members out there are able to help.

Hi fredirico, That would have been an option if it was not for the grandsons, who have extremely big feet and seam to catch everything, and drop their stuff on the cable, no matter where it is run(in the car or the tailgate and damage the cable and cause a short, so cable is out). One obvious solution is, I could run cable through car and stop taking the grandsons with me, a bit extreme as they love going away wee caravan trips. So only option is totally cable free between camera and monitor. Initially I was going to use camera for reversing only, but after seeing video of camera running continuously, may run that way and wire into caravan’s electrics via the live feed through 12n socket, I now have a better idea of what I want, wireless kit with bigger monitor 7”, and camera wired to caravan for continuous running while connected to car, this is where all good members can help me. Which one have they used, how good are they.

. I need a simple system ( monitor plugs in to cigarette lighter socket, and camera connected to the reverse light of van). Any information or recommendations from reversing camera users will be very much appreciated.
