He "loud-whispered" to me, enough for my wife to hear in the back seat - "We call this the Wife Eliminator!".

And to tell you the truth, she is absolutely useless at guiding a vehicle back. How many times have I called out to her "Don't stand behind the car!" when I am reversing up to a wall or another car!

Probably one of the main reasons I bought the Territory, the rev camera is brilliant.

Cheers.
We don’t have a reverse camera and on our camper we have a treg hitch so alignment is fairly critical when reversing. My wife stands Just to the side out of harms way and does a great job of giving hand signals when I am reversing.

Oh and I can’t wait to be a grey nomad when I grow up. About 15 years to go.
