Is Your Caravan Breakaway System Actually Working?
A caravan breakaway system can look fine but still fail. Learn how batteries, switches, cables, wiring and brakes are checked before a towing emergency.
This article compares the two caravan camera integration systems offered by AllBrand Caravan Services for the Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series VX (2015+) with a 9-inch display, focusing on Brisbane customers.
Key Differences:
- VX vs. Sahara: Though similar on the surface, the VX has one reverse camera while the Sahara has a surround view. This requires different integration systems.
- System Activation:
- Standard: Long press the navigation button while driving forward, press differently in reverse.
- Premium: Automatically displays caravan camera when hitched and in reverse, switches back to factory camera when unhitched.
- Camera Compatibility: Both systems require NTSC cameras. Check your camera’s compatibility beforehand.
- Dual Camera Support: The premium system seamlessly works with dual caravan cameras for optimal views.
- Upgrade: If you have the standard system installed, you can upgrade to premium for around $300 (plus installation).
Choosing the Right System:
- Standard: Suitable if your primary need is a rearview camera while driving forward and you don’t mind manual activation in reverse.
- Premium: Ideal for automatic camera switching in reverse and increased convenience.
