What’s your experience with one of those rear view cameras?

I'm planning to buy one on eBay but I'm not sure they are any good.

They do work good but they do take a bit to finesse them into postion. You should be able to hide the wiring in that Savanna pretty easy though.

BTW I couldn't read one thing there listed on E-bay...My Dutch is really rusty

I've been looking at them too. JC Whitney has a wireless unit. I'm going to have to check with a friend of mine. He has one on his Ford and uses it to aid in positioning trailer hitch/ball. He does a lot of trailering and says that it is a big help, especially at night.

I installed the Jc whitney one on my moms van for her, 80 bucks with tax CDN. a little trick when installing any system is if your having trouble hiding the wires for the camera, unscrew the plate, theres usually plastic pieces under there that you can just poke through.

We have them mounted on some of our trucks at work (GM 6500 35ft box trucks) I only use them when I'm at a busy loading dock, they come in especially handy when some idiot decides to unexpectedly walk behind you while your backing.
I think the picture quality depends on price spent, some have great pic quality and you can watch people behind you doing all kinds of things at stop lights or while driving down the road, others are blurry and have terrible quality. The night vision on all of them is terrible and only shows a vague outline.

I saw one working on Walmart display and it looked pretty good. Price was $98.00. Camera mounts to license plate holder and looks like the one shown is above post from JCW.

Are you from Canada?, that how much they retail at walmart here too, heres the secret though, if you have a costco card or a friend with one, go buy it there its 76$, its a totally different box, same exact unit. Canadian tire also sells it too, different box, (i think the wal moart one is the same) and they go for 119$ CDN
