Why caravans and trailers need a reversing camera
Hitching, unhitching, reversing onto a pitch, backing a trailer up a driveway — every caravan and trailer owner knows the blind spot problem. You can't see the back of the van from the tow car, mirrors only show so much, and one misjudged reverse into a gate post is a repair bill and a ruined trip.
A reversing camera on the back of the caravan or trailer turns that guesswork into a clear view. And the wireless magnetic camera is the natural fit — because the last thing you want is to drill holes in a caravan body you're trying to keep watertight and pretty.
Wireless reversing cameras for caravans and trailers
- No drilling. A magnetic camera clicks onto a steel surface in seconds — no holes through the bodywork, no cables, no warranty worries.
- Wireless range. The camera at the back of a caravan has to reach the tow car's cab — that's a long signal path. Our Solar Assist Magnetic camera transmits over a 65-metre range, covering car and caravan with room to spare.
- Solar powered. No wiring into the caravan electrics, no battery to swap — the solar panel keeps it charged through the whole trip.
- Phone app view. See the back of the van on your phone in the car — no monitor install, no dashboard clutter.
- No subscription. Works out of the box, forever.
What about non-metal caravans and trailers?
Most modern caravans and many trailers have non-metal bodies — GRP (fibreglass), aluminium composite, or plastic panels. A magnetic camera won't grip those on its own. The answer is a small steel fixing plate or a purpose-made baseplate kit: the plate attaches to the non-metal surface (adhesive or strap), and the magnet clicks onto the plate. You keep the no-drill, removable install on any body material.
Our metal fixing plate covers aluminium, GRP, and plastic bodies, and the caravan baseplate kit is the complete non-metal solution for caravans and trailers.
More than a reversing camera: a wireless magnetic camera
Because it's magnetic and solar, the same camera does more than reversing. Use it as a security camera on the pitch — watch the caravan, the awning, or the bikes from your phone at the site bar. Or move it from the caravan to the tow car, the trailer, or the boat. One camera, every vehicle you own — that's the wireless magnetic camera advantage.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit a reversing camera to my caravan without drilling?
Yes. A magnetic camera mounts on a steel surface in seconds, with no holes and no wiring. For non-metal bodies (GRP, aluminium, plastic), a steel fixing plate or baseplate kit gives the magnet a surface to grip.
Will the signal reach from the caravan to the tow car?
Yes — our camera's 65-metre wireless range covers car and caravan with room to spare, where many cameras stop at 10–20 metres.
Does it drain the caravan battery?
No. The camera is solar powered with its own battery, so it doesn't touch the caravan or car electrics at all.
Is it legal to tow with a camera?
Yes — a reversing camera is an aid that improves your view. You still follow normal towing rules and mirror checks; the camera simply shows the blind spot clearly.
Can I use it for security on the pitch?
Yes — that's the wireless magnetic camera advantage. Off the tow bar, it's a portable security camera for the caravan, awning, or bikes, viewable from your phone anywhere.
