    Reverse camera position. GU Patrol...

    Just wanting to know where others have put the reverse camera on their GU wagon. I have mounted mine on the underside of the rear step right above the tow bar. But it seems too close and the view is not too good. My only other place I can think of to mount it is on the roof rack.
    I don't know how it would go being mounted offset under the black housing where the number plate lights are too. Its a PITA having two rear doors not the same size...

    Cheers.

    Same here. The camera I have is 270 degree view so you can see everything and get some perspective on the distance of the trailer you are backing up to (if towing).

    It's just above the number plate. I can see from one side of the car to the other and also the tow hitch so I can back up to a trailer. You get a look from above and to the side so you can judge the distance to something as you back up. It's only good for reversing, not using it as a rear view camera.
