Where is it pointed?

[Scratch & Goose]

I was just reading a discussion on the use of a rear view monitor. The person stated he could use his monitor to view the oncomming traffic in preperation to changing lanes.
I have mine pointed so I can see the tow hitch and the rear of my toad, not much to the side.
Where is your pointed?

Sounds like mine is pretty much like yours. I can see the hitch and most of the toad, and can pretty much tell whether or not a vehicle I see in the mirror is beside or behind the toad.

Mine is pointed down to see the hitch but I can also see both corners of the coach so I can see anyone close on each corner.

I can see my toad and enough of the lanes on either side to see when I've passed (something I don't do often) and it is safe to pull back in to my proper lane. The rear camera actually gives me a better perspective of that than the side cameras.

Some cameras have much more "fish eye", i.e. wide angle view, than others. My Sony color system shows toad and tow bar as well as lanes to either side and a considerable distance back. Downside is that "objects are much closer than they appear".

Mine pans up and down so I can look down at the hitch or pan up for a view straight back. Due to the extreme wide angle any vehicle more than about 50 yds back is virtually invisible. Wish it had a zoom feature.

Like most of the posts, I can see from the hitch back to almost all the toad. I can also see the lane on each side of the toad. For me, the view from this camera is a mandatory glance before changing lanes.
