I too would love a Rear view camera. But I would like one that would tie into my Garmin GPS . It is always on and nicely mounted out of the way . I do not want an additional screen on my dash or some other device. If there was an interface that would be ideal ,as usually I do not need a GPS when going backwards so it would not interfere with anything . Honestly A front camera would be of no use ,I can see in front of the van when driving .
