Reversing camera view blocked (1 Viewer)

[Scubagas]

Hi

My bailey autograph has a twin reversing camera whereas one camera acts as a rear view mirror while driving and the other points down when reversing. My motorhome does not have a garage so I have bought a Flammia rear box to get chairs & tables out of the shower. The only problem is that this box now blocks the reversing camera view.
What do other people do in this case? I was wondering about moving the complete camera but then I have to extend the cable and run it somewhere, like below the box. Not sure what is simplest and not too expensive? Any peoples experience of this would be appreciated
thanks
Rick

Do it old school use your mirrors. I always allow too much behind when the bike is on the back if there not a wall to reverse up to .end up walking around and pulling it back further and it only a pvc

I just find it too difficult to judge on a 7.5 metre vehicle. To much hassle to keep getting out.

The other option is keep going until you hear /feel the bang and you know you've gone back far enough.

Similar here, have a Towbox which obscures our camera, so looking at a Garmin BC40.

That's not a good option. It's quicker to get out and walk to the back than spend ages repairing the result.

Are the cameras not on the roof ?

That's why it's option 2

Isn't this what wives are for?
Mine is very good at seeing me back, particularly once I'd reminded her to stand somewhere where I could see her in my mirrors!

Our camera is at the top of the back wall but faces downwards so you can see the rear bumper and a few metres behind. Our bikes obscure this. it may be possible to angle it up that won't help parking.

Get someone to watch you back to your desired parking position.

Bolt a 4” x 4” fence post, on its side, to the floor in contact with rear of rear tyres.

In future reverse until tyre comes into contact with fence post. Done!
