Hi,

I also have one like this, I have never thought about it being unsightly at all. It works really well and I have fitted the same type of system to my last 3 Vans.

I do know they do them in White, but I am unsure about the covers for them. I know that the Autotrails (Cheyenne, etc) when fitted with the SE pack seem to have a nice white moulding around theirs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

(these guys could be worth a try, I have bought from them before http://shop.reversingcamerasuk.com/epages/es106294.sf?gclid=CKXdlaPu160CFUVTfAodzlR5mw )

Edit: These are a bit more shapely http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WAECO-12V-24V-COLOUR-MONITOR-FLAT-SCREEN-RVS 550W-REVERSING-CAMERA-SYSTEM-camper-/140666195402?pt=UK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories&hash=item20c05bcdca

I, too, have something similar on the back of mine. It's a bit 'agricultural', to say the least, but it's really useful in that it shows me what I've just hit when reversing without the bother of clambering out of the cab to check.

Like others, I can't see the problem. This camera looks like about 80% of all the cameras that are seen on motorhomes, including my own.

If you are desperate to buy something more "aesthetically" pleasing, consider the Waeco twin-camera unit that Conrad Anderson sell. That is a really nice integrated unit with two cameras, but it is bloody expensive.
