That's a good setup Olley46.
That's the view I get now.
Very useful.

That looks to be a good view Ollie but that monitor appears to block a lot of windscreen area, be careful.

I have an old infrared reversing camera and monitor which I use for seeing up under the dash of cars if doing work on them.
Makes the job very much easier as the camera lights it up like daylight, and I don't have to get these old bones into places that I have trouble extracting them from.

I reckon what you need is remote control of the camera - imagine angle parking (without van) and when you reverse out being to swivel the camera to see oncoming traffic. I've thought of making a simple solenoid operated device for that.
I was given a cheap reversing camera for Dad's Day.
Set it up with the camera beside the rego.plate.
Could see well but the fish eye lens made it hard to judge distance.
I have just relocated the camera to the top of the tow hitch.
Used some scrap square & L aluminium, a few cable ties & a touch of glue.
Now the camera looks down on the tow ball for coupling up, much easier.
Also, now I can judge close distances when parking.
Only a little fix but has made the camera so much more useful.
