Spring’s warmer weather welcomes a new community of drivers back to the country’s roads: as summer draws nearer, more and more RVs will arrive to celebrate the season. RVs are rewarding to own, exciting to drive, and convenient to have on long, cross-country road trips, but their larger frames make them more difficult to pilot. Successful driving in an RV requires specialized skills and knowledge, since many of the most familiar driving maneuvers such as turning and parking are distinctly different in an RV. There’s no substitute for experience, but it’s wise to protect yourself as you learn, especially if you’re a new RV owner or getting used to a new vehicle’s particular issues. That’s why our company, Rear View Safety, carries a full selection of backup camera systems for RVs and hosts a wealth of information about installation, operation, and maintenance.

We employ top safety experts and connect drivers with the equipment they need to cover for blind spots and minimize risk. RV accidents can be especially dangerous, so it’s important to have protection for every angle. Contact us and we’ll make sure you have the knowledge and equipment you need to make the most of this vacation season in your RV. We’re the backup camera system experts, and we’re eager to help.

As leaders in the vehicle safety field, we’re dedicated to staying current with the latest studies and data. Our experts found the results of a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study especially informative.

The tests confirmed some of the basic knowledge that powers our business, such as the superior inherent visibility of smaller cars versus larger SUVs. It also revealed some surprising statistics, including relevant information for all drivers concerned with pedestrian safety. During the tests, the IIHS discovered that, in most cases, drivers using mirrors and windows alone cannot spot a one-year old infant anywhere within 27 feet of the vehicle’s rear bumper. That’s sobering news, but thankfully, the IIHS tests also suggested an effective and affordable solution. According to the study’s findings, backup camera systems are more effective than parking sensors in detecting pedestrians or other hazards in a driver’s blind spot. The most current IIHS estimates have calculated that vehicle backup cameras reduce blind spots by 90%. That means drivers who trust backup cameras are simply operating on a different level of safety from unprotected counterparts.

Studies like this reaffirm Rear View Safety’s commitment to equipping drivers for optimal performance and trustworthy safety on the road. To view more statistics about rear view cameras or browse a comprehensive selection of the newest models, visit RearViewSafety.com.

Owning a truck offers drivers many advantages. First and foremost, a truck is an amazing utility vehicle, with room for extra cargo and the power to transport cumbersome or bulky items for long distances. A truck is also effective in inclement weather, capable of handling on-road conditions better than more delicate or compact vehicles. One of the few ways in which a truck struggles to keep up with its smaller counterparts is in ease of use: as a larger vehicle, a truck presents unique challenges for parking and everyday maneuvers. Smart drivers make sure to take measures that balance this out and create a safer and more satisfying experience behind the wheel. The best way to maximize truck performance and safety? Investing in a truck backup camera.

Many of the cameras designed by Rear View Safety’s tech experts are especially useful for trucks with larger frames. Video feeds can help truck drivers cover for blind spots and make better choices on the road. At the same time, the cameras are tough enough for use in all conditions and on board high-performance vehicles: with exemplary shock resistance and weatherproofing features, they’ll stand up to regular use and continue to impress.
