Reply With QuoteI have two reversing cameras on the Defender - one down low for the towbar and the other above the rear door to see over the camper - and find them very useful.
With hands on the bottom of the wheel they make backing much easier.

Short (19m) b doubles are often harder to back than long (26m) ones. Different types of prime movers are more suited, as well.
Stacking up road train trailers onto each other is fun, too! Especially when you can't see over the loading ramp until the prime mover is on it

Yes, the mirrors help for sideways movement, but the camper is too tall to see over from the mirrors, so the high camera solves that.

This is fine if the towing vehicle has power steering. I could never do this with the Stage 1.

SubscriberAmount of stuff, number of things. A number of dollars makes an amount of money. A number of vehicles makes an amount of traffic. A number of grains makes an amount of sugar. Water comes in amounts, people come in numbers.An "amount" of money is very "Countable"
But Yes saying the "amount" of trailers on a truck instead of saying the "Number" of trailers makes little sense.

SubscriberI used to consider myself a professional with trailer backing, worked on a spud farm for several years and I used to race the harvester back down the row when towing the bulk trailer, the harvester had steering so it was not a fair fight but no problem, even when sliding around in mud. Could back a 40ft semi anywhere it would fit, in one bite. Now the big rear overhang of the 130 combined with the short drawbar length of my camper trailer often makes me look like a rank beginner.
An amount of water makes a number of glasses of water.
Can't count liquids like water, but can count glasses filled with water.
