Thread: RRS reverse camera position

I have an aftermarket reverse camera fitted near the tailgate opener. I can't see the towball either but I've put a bit of tape on the bumper which tells me where the ball is and I reverse to that plus another inch in. Works well.

Thanks mate I will give that a shot

I agree the position is stupid. No thought given to people who tow. I have been looking at D4 type number plate cameras on ebay. Prices vary greatly. I would think we would need a PAL style camera for Australian delivered cars.
This is what I bought. For $11 worth the risk. The item number is 272981060908 Not delivered yet.

Let us know what you do.

Question is has anyone try to relocate the camera position (Eg next to the number plate light ) comparing to my D4 this is really bad .

Any advise would be great

Thank you

I had an aftermarket unit installed with 3 cameras 1 on rear bumper & 2 on the back of the van ( 1 rear vision & 1 directly down the back of the van).
Screen is aftermarket rear vision mirror that clips over factory mirror .

Works sensationally now for over 3 yrs.
Can reverse up to van within mm to drop van onto DO35 hitch.
