Congratulations Cannon,
You have now gained entry into my little black book and come the revolution you will be made to...........

Hmm, I was asking for that, wasn't I?

I have seen them mounted on the rear door (tailgate) opening handle, underneath it where the latch to release the lock is.

Have seen them on prados in same spot so must work alright?

I would be concerned in regard to the spare tyre mounted on the back door blocking off some of the view from the camera.....I have a standard size wheel fitted there and after having a good look, the wheel sticks out a lot further than the number plate light fitting.

I don't know what sort of wide angle view you get from the camera but the wheel must block some of it off. Not much point in fitting the camera in a place where it cannot do the job you purchased it for.

Just a thought, but best have a real good look at the dimensions available there and re-think the issue of fitting through the back bumper.

Cheers
Mick

You could make up a bracket to screw to the bumper underneath, directly above the tow-ball.

This would give you the best wide angle view, and make sure you can back up to the trailer first time, every time...

I have seen a few people mount them in the centre of the rear bumper, drilled a hole & mounted it there.
The bumper to remove is very simple, couple of clips for the lights & a few bolts & its off.

Cheers.

This is where my camera is but I mounted it about 10mm under the Land Rover sign.

Its great where it is, you get a good view over the towball to line it up.

But...the only hassle is when you have a sticky tow hitch and pull up you can knock it off

This is where mine is mounted, about 40mm hole just above the towball so I can see to hitchup on my own.
