I've been testing a wireless, solar-powered backup camera from Foxpark that they sent us to review. In my unboxing video, I noted that it seemed like a quality unit but I wanted to use it more before I offered a thumbs up or thumbs down on it. A couple of months later, I'm happy with this unit and think you should check it out if you're in the market for a camera. Plus, I've found a unique way to use it for our needs -- you can find out more in the video! -Ari

Are the parking lines off center since the camera is slightly off center? If so, are they adjustable to center the parking lines not just up and down but side to side?

[@Trekers]

The guidelines cannot be adjusted. While they are off slightly to one side, it's not as much as you would expect and I've not found it to be a problem. -Ari

Great review. I value your opinion because you are an ex Roadtreker. Will this work mounted to the A/C cover at the rear top looking down? Is the range of the wireless good enough? The alternator on our 07 Versatile Chevy Roadtrek is fussy and this would be no load. Thank you for the help on switching to LED interior lights. What a difference. Safe Travels.

[@Trekers]

If you could find a way to attach it to the back cover of the A/C, I believe you would be able to tilt it enough to make it work. If I remember correctly the total angle up and down is 70°. Also, the wireless range should be plenty with the length of that van. I'm glad the light swap worked well for you. Safe travels to you, as well! -Ari

How does your roadtrek charge the Refrigerator when I don't solar

[@Trekers]

The refrigerator ran on propane while traveling. The batteries couldn't keep up because it was an older 3-way fridge that was very inefficient on the DC setting.

In the new van that we tow the Airstream with, we have a Dometic powered cooler that we run off of a Jackery power station.

I have Toyota rav 4 2015 License plate is left side, not at the center Can camera be adjusted/tilted?

[@Trekers]

The camera can be tilted up and down by 70 degrees if I remember correctly. But it cannot be turned side to side. -Ari

[@sookranoh3076]

Ok thank you for answering I think it will still cover the needed viewing area. Your thought?

[@Trekers]

I believe it will because it has quite a wide angle to the lens on the camera. -Ari

[@sookranoh3076]

Thank you so much for replying I ordered one thru your link that you provided to other inquirer’s question. It says it won’t be delivered by 30th, but after I damaged my bumper twice while backing, I learned about this kind of gadget existed for older cars. Thank you so very much 🙏

[@Trekers]

Good luck with it. I hope it works well for you. I find it is holding up well on our van and it takes more of a beating on the front bumper than it would on a rear bumper. -Ari

Where could I order one from.
