Have fitted over 20 kits and whilst the Chinese eBay ones are tempting the decent stuff is a million miles ahead in quantity and durability. My favourite set up is a vancam camera which sits on top the van with 2 cameras so you have rear vision all the time and wide angle view of the rear of the vehicle when in reverse. Go for the clip on unit that sits on top of the rear view mirror. Dash mounted ones don’t work so well due to sunlight IMHO

This is what i bought for combine harvester as either camera or monitor was strobing, (cant remember if it was camera or monitor seem to think it was monitor...), was a Sparex kit that was originally fitted (original owner fitted) but this kit was the same connections. Replaced it three years ago and still going strong. It is on as soon as battery is deisolated on combine so has prob done about 400 odd hours now. Only thing would say is depending on time of day sun glare makes it unviewable, this could be sorted by a tin shroud of course but can get away with mirrors on combine during day which you cant at night when its worth its weight in gold.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
looks exactly like what I fitted to the 'Drema .. works fine .. as said, doesn't like the direct sunlight, even with the shrouds it can be a PITA, but generally has been good and I can at least see my blind side now as the mirror is only visible with boom right up or right out/down ... the rear view camera I only use occasionally as she has such a short bum I can see 90% of it from the cab window .. useful when I have the blade behind meThis is what i bought for combine harvester as either camera or monitor was strobing, (cant remember if it was camera or monitor seem to think it was monitor...), was a Sparex kit that was originally fitted (original owner fitted) but this kit was the same connections.

If it helps keep the illegals out and forces crappy employers to pay a living wage, I'm all for it.
Furniss

Illegals are just that so it wont change, rather it keeps hard working eastern Europeans out and leaves you with snowflakes that don't know what graft is

I think jobs that require graft should provide reward in equal measure. The trouble, as I see it, is allowing hard working foreign people to come and be exploited by greedy employers makes the wage for the hard working native go down/stay down.

Most the eastern European blokes I've met are far better at knowing there worth than English blokes and arnt afraid to kick up a fuss if they think they arnt getting a fair deal. They also seem to get an equal amount of work work done whilst having a better day. Most have a sit down lunch even on site.
I think we can blame anything we like but at the end of the we have screwed ourselves over. It seems mostly by deciding that real jobs are beneath everyone and that a trade is a terrible things

Are you telling me the people who live in the static caravans on a local farm or who work in the green houses growing tomatoes are on £200+ a day?
Yeah right, I would love for that to be the case but I doubt it.
I live in a cheap area and it's still £300,000 for a house. How are you going to pay the mortgage on that with £60-£70 a day?
