Viewtech 5" Reversing Camera Kit For Caravans and 5th Wheelers

Reversing Camera Kit for 5th Wheelers & Caravans

Get rid of your towing mirrors with this caravan / 5th wheeler rearview system. The trailer coupler allows you to easily connect and disconnect the camera. You will always be able to see who is directly behind you, reducing driving distress and increasing road safety.
The system is also fully expandable, so you can add another camera onto the tow vehicle for hitching up your vehicle! Never get out of your vehicle again to check the distance to the tow ball.
This system can accept up to three cameras, which can be manually selected by a key on the monitor or by an electrical trigger i.e. reverse select.
We also have multiple camera angles available. Many customers prefer a wider angle for manoeuvring trailers, while others prefer a narrower field of view that is closer to that of a rear vision mirror - this is generally used for watching traffic behind rather than manoeuvring/reversing.
This system can be installed into the following vehicles: caravans, horse floats, fifth wheelers and any other towed trailer unit.

Can be set to activated while reversing, or you can manually watch all the time to check traffic

Wired vs. Wireless

We often get asked the difference between Wired & wireless systems. While the picture produced by a high quality wireless system may be okay when the vehicle is stationary, every wireless device (every one) is susceptible to interference, and the interference will be worse when the vehicle is in motion. Because a wireless system transmits a video image through the air, instead of via a cable, there can be some interference from a variety of sources, including electrical interference, radio and television transmitters, and many other sources encountered as the vehicle moves. Most wireless systems have directional antennas on the camera and receiver that must be aimed directly at each other, these antennas are easily broken during normal use. We personally prefer a wired system. If you insist on a wireless rear view system, you will have to settle for a lower quality picture than you would have with a high quality wired system, and at least some occasional interference.
