Thanks to Jerry for his photos from the recent upgrade to his Swift motorhome. 

Big thanks to our valued regular trade customer Ross, at RFT Automotive for his photos. These were taken of a recent install that he did on one of his customers Ford Transit Connect vans.  It is an unusual brake light camera to sell, quite rare.  We did find that the angle of the camera was such, that you could even choose to angle it to view down the road whilst driving.  That may or may not appeal to people.

Our fitting instructional YouTube video showing the installation of our popular white twin lens reversing + rear view camera kit in to a Burstner motorhome using our adaptor set.

Selection of photos sent in by Louise, of her first ever DIY reversing camera install, a very tidy job too!  She fitted our recently upgraded bolt type number plate reversing camera, and bolt to the windscreen rear view mirror monitor.

Thanks to Ross from RFT Automotive in the AB41 area of Scotland for his photos from a couple of recent installs.  A twin brake light reversing / rear view camera fitted to a Ford Transit Custom, and a bracket reversing camera fitted to a Ford Transit tipper.  Quality fitting as always.

Another evening spent road testing our stock of AHD cameras, and prospective cameras, this time in the rain @10PM.  My favourite AHD sensor is still the Sony 1080P used in the upgrade option of the twin lens camera, followed by the Galaxy Core GC2053 1080P.  

Thanks to XLR8 automotive on the Isle of man for sending us in a picture of our AHD numberplate reversing camera that he has fitted to one of his customers pickup trucks.  The image sensor is very sensitive to light, this makes the picture look bright despite the dark cloudy sky.

Big thanks to Brian for sending in pictures of our Ford Transit Mk7 brake light reversing camera fitted to his van.  

Big thanks to Richard who sent us a photo of our PM61S silver reversing camera kit on the back of his hobby motorhome.  This was our standard Sony CCD sensor version, which has a lovely picture on the high quality panels used on our 7 inch dash monitors.

We received an email from a lovely chap called Tom who had an issue with his twin lens driving / reversing camera fitted as standard on his Bessacarr motorhome.  We have for a long time stocked adaptors to support customers such as Tom in this predicament.  Tom very kindly has sent in a couple of photos allowing us to use them on our site so that they may help other customers in a similar position to him.  

The Swift / Autotrail / Bessacarr/ Sargent Electrical reversing camera cable adaptors are suitable for Sargant Electrical Twin Lens systems using the boxes EM5.0 / EM5.6.  We hold two adaptors, one with a fly lead (for the camera looking down at the floor.  One without a fly lead (for the driving camera looking down the road) – if you are only replacing one lens then it is important to order the correct adaptor for it to work.  

You may also find the same system installed on various Swift and Autotrail motorhomes.
