Back Up Camera

[Gregory OConnor]

Rob, is it worth an upgrade from the factory B&W system? and is there
a way to get intercom to enhance voice contact with
lookout 'ComeOnBack' person?

When I back up my Dumptruck and trailer I get out and take a walk
around then I place a mini cone next to landmarks. Never do I hit a
thing, no camera, life is stressfree and easy. However backing up
the bus is very stressful as the copilot says "I'll look" and my walk
around review would spark a 'you have no trust debate'. Who wants to
start a trip this way.
As I back up I hear "a little to the right". My question is "my
right or your right" Then I hear "we are facing the same way what do
you think". I respond "I shouldn't be thinking, you are directing
me, just point, damit" Then I see clearly in the monitor a single
digit reply. This is the only time I can see a command as every
other time he is in view of a mirror or the camera and only an arm
in one and a torso in the other.

Then a new sign language, hands to the side, what's that mean? As
he starts to push on the bumper I realize the Umpire SAFE sign L is
equivalent to Bus driver STOP sign L. Then the walk to the drivers
window. The pace is reminiscent of an Umpite walk to the mound, does
the repeated over exaggerated 'He's safe motion' evoke a Baseball
authority ambition in someone? As he approaches I adjust my cup and
wait for his first pitch. The co pilot says "when I do this ( he
motions safe)it means stop". I hold my arms out forward, thumbs side
by side, palms facing him and say "I thought this meant stop". He
replies "that means, Ouh - hay - Beep -Beep, are you wearing double
knit polyester or something". I reply "What?, are you Donna Sommers
now?, this aint a Prevost, no Discoball hanging in the galley". I
then jump out of my seat, take a walk around, place some landmark
indicators and back the bus in safe. I often wondered if the
nightstand placed rear and center was a selling feature in the
classic FC's, prompted by backup /setup anxiety.
