Thanks - I hadn't thought of that.

I would expect that to be technically possible. Not sure about the cost. ICE Technicians can be relatively expensive. Great for a reversing camera that only uses the monitor when reversing. Not so good for a rear view camera that is being used all the time. It would be monopolising the monitor...

Similar experience to yourself with wireless - not that good and very annoying when you lose the connection. I'm open to any options that are effective and reliable. I will take a look at WiFi - thanks

Thanks for the info and feedback. I'm now sold on the idea of one from Amazon or Ebay. The top brand ones are 000's of £!

Thanks for the explanation. Good job! I like low tech & low cost. I also prefer hard wired to wireless.

That is a compelling tale that persuades me of the benefit of a camera. I like your low cost Ebay solution and DIY approach. Have you wired it all the way, direct to the monitor? If so, how easy was that to do?

Hi everyone. I currently view these as "nice to have", rather than essential. I like the idea of a Rear View Camera to supplement the towing mirrors and help keep an eye on what is going on behind me when I am towing. I curently don't feel any great need for a Reversing Camera, but I am open to...

Thanks for all your advice, information and opinions - I have learned a lot thanks. My tentative learnings are: All measurement equipment needs be re-calibrated to maintain accuracy. The issue is how often and how much £? Using accurate bathroom scales to roughly check calibration of a nose...

The Reich looks interesting. Thanks

I have done Google searches and have not found much in the way of reviews, that is why I have created a separate post on here: 'Alko Premium Jockey Wheel', to see if any members have personal experience of using one.

It looks like a good idea. A combined nose weight gauge and jockey wheel, recommended by Alko for motor movers. Positives No need for a separate nose weight gauge. High quality jockey wheel with wide ribbed tyre. Negatives Price! £128 from Alko Shop. The nose weight gauge is permanently loaded...

There's a wide variety of opinions. Yes, that makes choosing more difficult, but I like thorough research and I also like learning. So all very interesting and all good. So far I like the look of the Milenco. I also like the look of the Alko Premium Jockey Wheel, which appears to kill 2 birds...

I'm a newbie caravaner starting from scratch, so I need one. I would like to buy once only. Any recommendations? TIA

I agree. Looking at the Tourer Annual Service Check Sheet, I see that under the Electrical System section, last item, it covers 'Aftermarket Items', but only electrically. It would be good if it also covered the mechanical side of servicing 'Aftermarket Items', like the motor movers, ATC and...

That's good to know. I'm a novice and I'm surprised it is not covered as part of the annual service. Is that 'normal' practice? Is there a national standard and checklist for a good practice Annual Service?
