If you already have the BC30 power/receiver lead then you’ll only need to purchase the ‘additional Back Up camera kit’. Next, check if the 12v power lead is the BC30 power lead with the integrated camera receiver. Garmins website shows 67 compatible units. If you already have a Garmin Sat Nav, check to see if it has a ‘Back Up’ camera function.

The other is the ‘full Kit’ with all of the aforementioned plus the BC30 receiver lead. There’s an ‘additional camera’ kit available which includes the camera, transmitter and the mount, fittings and wiring. Be careful, a lot of merchants don’t make the difference clear between either kit.

The Garmin ‘BackUp’ reversing camera is sold in two different kit forms. Most of us use sat-nav units, so the idea of this screen doubling as my reversing display instantly appealed.

It also usually means fitting another screen on the dashboard. Finding a sensible cable run throughout the entire length of your motorhome could potentially be a very involved and time consuming job. Lets face it campervans are small spaces jam packed with fittings and fixtures. With all the normal security upgrades fulfilled, the next biggest saving was made by installing a reversing camera. After I found the most competitive premium I asked what else could be done to reduce it. This won’t be the case for all insurers but it is worth asking. I first looked into fitting a reversing camera after my insurer told me I could reduce my motorhome premium by approximately £60 per year if I had one. This is a clever bit of kit that wirelessly transmits live images from reversing camera to your corresponding Garmin Sat Nav screen. Let me introduce you to the Garmin BackUp camera. However, the thought of running cables the entire length of your vehicle may put you off. There’s obvious advantages of fitting a reversing camera to your motorhome.
