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.

This was a real departure from our usual caravanning travel mode, because we flew up, then caught Ghan back. The original hope was to Ghan one way, with the 4WD, and drive the other, but the Truck is too...
