Added a second camera, this time to truck bed up high in the bulkhead liner facing backwards to tailgate,
its for hooking camper up without tears, powered independently off rear screen demist circuit
camera and its own micro transmitter broadcasts forward to installed monitor in sunvisor above steering wheel.
once backed under it reverts back to the normal camper-cam switched off the sidelights so I don't have both camera's broadcasting at once
camera is tiny and comes with its own hole cutter to install whole lot under £10

and added a 5A in-line fuse as its the smallest I can find here a 1A would probably have worked just as well
there, that should keep the H&S happy

Might have to do this mod myself.
Not just security but coming down that ladder with hands full of food/wine/ageing springer has more than once come close to a comedy moment.

I'd say it was a 5/10 pretty easy to be honest.
It was more of a confidence thing, cutting a 960mm x 655mm hole in the roof
Just followed the instructions & before I knew it, it was all done

They are great. You will love it.
I was really nervous cutting 2 holes in the side of mine for the fridge vents. Measured 9 or 10 times for everything. Worked out ok in the end.
