Rear Vision LCD

[William A Clayton]

I found a portable DVD player at Target that has a switch labled in/out. Not
all DVD's have this feature. I then mounted a color camera I found on ebay for
about $35 in the rear and ran new video cable from there all the way forward.
The cable was also obtained on ebay and was 50 feet long and I hid the cable
under the long drip rail that runs the length of the Bird just above the
windows. The cable then plugs into the DVD and with switch on "in" I get a very
clear color rear view. The camera is made for backup and gives the reverse
image just like a mirror, works great. The DVD is velcro held by the driver on
top of the CB radio cover. The DVD also is often removed and is very useful in
keeping the grandkids quiet on the long trips.

It will work......better yet, you can get units that attach to the roof and
the screen
flips down to be seen..... but....you get what you pay for....that means
resolution...
