I would like a rear view camera for my LWB camper (solid rear doors as it has a garage)

All the ones I've seen only flick to a rear view camera occasionally. I want a full view, all the time of what's behind me on the road plus the ability to look close behind me when reversing

Whether that means two cameras or the ability to zoom on one

I don't care whether it's mounted in a rear view mirror or on a separate screen

I don't think I need the ability to record

Any suggestions ?

You can buy rear view units for horseboxes and camper vans with dual cameras - one looking down at the bumper and one acting as a normal rear view, but some of these tend to be bulky and unsightly.

Newer vans such as the Transit have live view:

If it were me, I'd have 2 cameras, one by the numberplate giving parking cover, and one mounted up high or in the door for live rear view. Certainly the new Transit Custom has the camera embedded in the rear door window panel:

My daughter has a wolfbox

Can see front or rear, or split screen for both

Bought direct rather than via Amazon

Simple to fit and she’s happy with it
