Hope to be hitting the road at the end of this year. Neither of us will be on the pension and we would like to know how to cover ourselves for ambulance Australia wide. We also wont have a home address so are not covered by electricity bill.

Am keen to purchase a camera to attach to the back of our van that will help see what is travelling behind us when on a long straight piece of road. Am I looking for a reversing camera or a rear view camera or are they the same thing? Advice on best buys much appreciated.
