How to check out a nice filly

[terravista]

We have a horse float but three different vehicles to tow it.
We want to put a camera system in the float so the horses can be observed while travelling and had the thought of a wireless reversing camera, with the monitor plugging into a cigarette lighter making is easaliy changeable between vehicles.
The concern is getting a good signal. I have seen many reports from caravan owners saying the wireless between the back of the caravan through to the car cabin just sucks.
Does anyone have any good experience with a product that actually works?
The signal would need top go through the float front and rear of vehicle cabin, a bit less than the front and back of a caravan, but shorter distance.
Cheers

The Closer the two units the better the result.
If the Float has a F/glass front,even better.
You'll probably find the whingers were trying to get the job done at/near the limit for their set-up.

l have a Swan reversing camera kit , not sure if its still available  . When the reversing light is on the camera fires up the screen as wireless . The unit also works with many other wireless set ups . This makes very interesting viewing when the screen fires up at random as you drive around  .                     This would definitely sort out your horse float  .

Yep, that's the problem with mobile wireless installs. Might work great when you first set it up, stationary at home, but soon as you start driving through interference zones you will have problems. But you must be a whinger if you can't live with that eh? lol

Wireless during the day is fine. At night you have to turn it off or it will drive you nuts. Mine came from jaycar and I like it. You'd need to manually switch your camera or leave it powered up all the time and switch your head unit on and off.

We ended up with a Jaycar $229 system with one camera (they have a lower spec model with 2 cameras for the same price) but additional cameras are $75 each and you can split screen them if desired. Full colour reception, no interference and the horses can be closely observed.
Whether it would work through a caravan as well is an unknown.
Thanks for the responses.

Hey TV, so how did it go after a few weeks - working OK?

We used it for the trip from Brisbane to Rockhampton with a mare and baby and it worked like a charm.
It has had a few uses since for shorter trips and all was good.
