17' Series Reverse camera

[Bigben]

Hi all,
I'm thinking about fitting a reverse camera to my 17.56-2 and I was going to mount camera under the number plate, if anyone could help on where to mount camera this would be great.

I mounted mine on the rear bar, its ok but you will find most mount them up high.

 

[relgate]

I've mounted mine up high above the hard lid. Theory is it is better visibility on the highway.

Mine is on the rear bar as well. Works a treat but gives a very low perspective on following traffic. Leave it on all the time while towing.

On the Basestation:
I haven't got a pic but its up the top of the van looking down.....

On my 14 I have it mounted at top ,better to fit a rear veiw camera instead of reversing as they have a wider view,
Works really well I leave it on all time while towing can actually see cars coming up beside me , they are still on camera and can see them in pajero's mirrors so no blind spots.

What sort of monitors have you guys got these hooked up to. I would like to have one display on my Toyota display and have a switch between the car camera and the van camera

I am the same. I contacted Solar Panel express up at Caboolture and they said it was quite difficult. - not impossible - but difficult to do.

Hi just bought rear camera for our new 17.56-2 great to read the different ideas

Hi Bigben if you have a look at my attachment on my profile there are a number of pics on how I mounted the rear camera type of cabling and the clip on monitor I use when all connected

Hi @Bigben and welcome aboard. We mounted ours at the top of the rear bed with our 17.56-2. Works well for us. Would never do without one.
Cheers Deano

What type/brand do you recommend, eBay? Wireless?

 

[relgate]

I've never tried wireless but I've never heard a good report. Only bad. I gather there is too much interference/distance from car to rear of van.
Ebay is the go

 

[Deano]

Go eBay and shop around. Try and get the 10 mtr wire with it.
Cheers Deano
