Look behind
Inspired by a TV ad I went to Jaycar.
The tennis playing RR driving Autopro blonds were nice but the price for a similar reversing alarm unit at Jaycar was better.
As I enquired a gentleman was asking for a camera and a screen. It turned out that he was the bloke who parked his black D3 behind my tractor. 8O
I will install my reversing alarms shortly and will let you know with pictures

It has only taken 6 months but I finally got a round tuit 8O
$45 from Jaycar.

Sensors mounted on the endcaps
Control panel hidden in the rear section near the rear lights. Power taken from the reversing light feed and earthed.
"speaker" rear pillar:
1.5 hours work
It works very well with four pitches and pulses depending on distance from about 1.5 metres to continuous squeal at about 0.3 metres and deals with that enourmous blind spot caused by the driver's side rear pillar...you know the one that the trees sneek up in. :roll:

Just watch out for those bumper end capings as they're usually one of the first bits of trim to come off while out in the sticky stuff!
It'd also be interesting to know how those sensors cope with being dunked in mud & water on a regular basis?? I take it they're fairly well sealed to the elements?

Hi Mark,
Yes all of the above. They seem well sealed but at $45 I'll happily experiment. 
Although I have never ripped the the end caps off in the forward direction only compressed them in reverse. Surprisingly tough buggers.

Well... I s'pose at $45 they almost count as a consumable item. :wink:

reversing sensor
Just a small thing to mention, I need to put a switch in our setup on the disco as when we reverse the caravan, the beeping tends to drive you nuts !!!!

When I bought Rosemary she already had a reversing alarm fitted. The alarm drove me nut every time I put her in reverse so I switched it off. So far it's been nearly 2 years that I've been meaning to take a look at the system and see why it's going off all the time 
ops:
The little alarm speaker is right at my right ear :roll:
