Has anyone fitted revering sensors to their camper?
As mine is very old 1980 I have to switch a switch on the dash to put the revering lights on but I would like sensors fitted so I can reverse safely at times when its difficult to see.

Yes, I fitted a cheap set.
I had to extend the wiring loom because the bus is longer than normal car.
I used a feed from the reversing light as a feed for the power.

I fitted a pair, magnetic bases and placed either side of the rear lights. Wired to the reversing light, simple to install and cheap too!

It still should have had a reversing light switch on the gearbox.

I must admit I just use a towbar ...

Oh ok where can I find that then. As I would like to get that working again.

If you still have the original gearbox then it is here.

yes its the original gear box so I can have a tinker with it if it is still there!

Please stop reversing up to my car in car parks then .

I've got a great reversing sensor - the crunch-tinkle one. If I hear that, I know I've misjudged it but if you drive off fast enough, nobody is any the wiser

Somebody has reversed into my front bumper and cracked it. And has driven away.It wasn't you was it..

"Very old 1980"? Jeez, even Bay windows had reverse lights! No T25/T3 ever came without reverse ligths as standard (bar perhaps the german post vehicles)

It wasn't white was it? Cheshire way? Nope, not me

I have the original 4 speed box but I don't see it at all!
Is it on the driver side or passenger side.
