Plenty cheap camera/monitors on Ebay from just a few pounds. However I found previously that the wireless setups were prone to having grainy images wheras the same system when used with a cable were spot on. However the best way to do it is with GVIF unit and a Freelander specific tailgate handle camera. This is not cheap at around £300 but allows the camera image to be shown on your satnav screen and is much neater. See HIDS4U for further info. Thumbs Up

Yes having a tow bar will certainly help when towing the boat lol! I am thinking of going for the wired rear camera. I have a rubber floor at for the boot and floor mates for the interior. Two dogs make it a necessity! Pick the car up Tuesday can't wait. I a. Thinking tat roof rails also may be an additional useful extra. 2012 Freelander SD4 auto xs

This is something you can do yourself, a bit of boat carpet in the front door pockets. Stops items rattling around! The carpet sits in place by itself & can be easily removed for cleaning!

Print off template to scale on a few A4 pages if you don't have a larger printer.
