Rear view camera. Under caravan?

[chrisbee1]

Conversely, if it was illegal, would manufactures fit switches to allow continuous operation? I think a police officer would have to be very short sighted to report you for using a rear view camera whilst moving forward, especially as his patrol car may well be fitted with a forward facing camera and screen. I guess we won't know until the first court case.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word comes from the Latin, meaning "lying near (or next) to". Its use by estate agents in describing houses is generally not going to refer to something in front or behind, because that's usually still your own property (can't imagine a house with land at sides, but nothing front and back).
I'm not sure why any installer should want to cut power to the screen when the vehicle is in motion - that's the time when you need to be sure what's in the bits your mirrors don't show! It could be that some drivers would connect a DVD player and watch a film as they drove!!

Transmission into the car is good so long as you leave the front caravan blind up and have the receiver at about steering wheel level, but the screen is small and not very bright. The camera is pretty wide angle and needs a top shade, or bright sun (I'm in Spain where this happens) just burns out the whole picture.
