Many manufacturers now fit cameras to their vehicles to help with manoeuvring, while after-market systems are also available. Sammy Faircloth gives a run-down on what is available.

Two cameras in one bracket, allowing the driver to not only see directly behind the motorhome when reversing, but also to see farther behind the motorhome. Offers the same views as the twin camera except it tends to be one motorised lens. When in forward gear, the image portrayed on the monitor is of the traffic behind the motorhome, similar to the rear-view mirror.

On selecting reverse gear, the camera switches focus to directly behind the vehicle. It makes manoeuvring much easier. A wide angle view is essential to assist with distances and the width of your motorhome, so that you can see both corners.

Look for a viewing angle of at least degrees or a combined horizontal and diagonal angle, the wider you go the better your field of vision will be. At degrees for example, you would be able to see obstacles sooner when reversing around a corner and therefore take quicker action to avoid them. A tilting reversing camera is also vital if you are towing a trailer or car. If you are looking to wire into an existing sat nav or multimedia system, be aware of the following;. Look for a reversing camera with a resolution of at least pixels, which is the minimum resolution required for viewing tv images.

The higher the resolution, the better the image quality which will help when reversing into tighter spots. Less than pixels will still give you a good image but it may be harder to distinguish small details. If you buy a separate reversing camera to link to an existing screen or smartphone, make sure the existing screen also has a pixel resolution and is wide enough for you to see the image, ideally at least five inches wide.

Ideally, it should be IP ingress protection rated. The first digit of an IP rating shows the level of protection from intrusion, so dust or sand. IP6 means your camera is totally dust tight and is the highest rating that can be achieved. An IP67 rating means your reversing camera will not be affected by high winds, dusty or sandy conditions or prolonged rain.

An IP68 rating means that truly torrential downpours will not affect your reversing camera. Unless you have upgraded your motorhome reversing lights, you may find that they do not give enough illumination for you to see the reversing camera image clearly. If you often arrive at your destination after dark or you find reading in dim light difficult, an illuminated reversing camera may be helpful.
