missed the reversing camera on my primera last week, dont know what u got till u aint got it no more!!

We use walkies talkies, we give the kids one and they can go an disappear, always contactable and its piece of mind, especially when my son got stuck up a tree or the time he walked up the river and got stuck under a bridge, never thought about using them for hitching up, what a novel idea tho, thanks mate

I posted a subject last year on reversing cameras.

i bought one from ebay camera+monitor with leads for £39 it as a microphone/speaker so the better half can curse at me when reversing.

l glued the camera at the back caravan then run the cable under the van and use a normal 12s connector to plug into the back of my Mitzi. The monitor is placed on the dash passenger side, members with shoguns will know the is a handle on the dash, so with 2 spring clips and a piece of plywood the monitor is held on by Bluetack so no damage to dash board works a treat.

l am a HGV driver and with my job spend more time reversing down small narrow roads and have been using a reversing camera for about 14 years now

My wife may buy a set of walkie talkies so she can tell when lunch is ready when l'm fishing. Should have kepted my CB radios. 

We follow the advice given on the caravan club towing course about directing onto a hitch. Works a treat without resorting to technology (or divorce).
