There is (a little bias), and it’s the solution we are now fitting to 2009 Motorhomes (as a rolling change).
Rather than use the Lucca, we now fit a LCD rear view mirror, which clips over the standard Fiat mirror.
This displays the reverse image, either only when reverse is selected or permanently. As it is a Swift solution, it only requires a new mirror and camera adaptor (V.3.5), with one new cable and has been tested to work.
If this is of interest, please contact Sargents on : 01482 881655, who will be glad to assist with the change.
Dunno Richard, as mine was part of the reversing camera package.
Not cheap though I guess, as they are actually mini lcd monitors. Ours could play DVDs if I was daft enough to plug it in, and the camera has a microphone so I can hear Mrs Zeb's eternally confusing directions if I'm in a really tight spot and she is directing from the rear.
(No worries though, I realise now that she doesn't know her left from her right . . . so I do the opposite! )
Great bits of kit if you are willing to part with the readies!
Hi all
You can get a decent clip on 7" monitor to go over the rear view mirror on ebay for about £80 with carriage.
I fitted one two years ago, and have been very pleased with it.
One thing to watch though is the weight! Mine pulled the mirror off the glass (stuck on like most these days) so I had to make a stalk for the monitor itself and attached it to the headlining moulding - no problem after that.
Mine was originally installed fixed on the dash. But I then put Tom Tom on the dash and on occasion Val Plays with the Lap top or DS whilst we are travelling. Thought the distractions a bit excessive so moved the Reverse momitor up to the rearview mirror position just about enough surplus momitor cable.
Isn't there a maximun size of screen, by Law, that can be dash mounted.
When we purchased our S/hand Van the key sales features according to the Salesman were the reversing camera that played DVD's and Cd's etc and the emergency torch in the door. On the test drive first question was how do I turn that B camera off whilst going forwards. Reverse switches the camera on automatically.
An excellent safety point "pneumatician" as these Screens should only be in use when reversing the vehicle for a quick rear view , not when driving forward.

What an extraordinary statement!!!
Why not, when they give a far better rearward view than the mirror can provide through a corner of the rear window . . . assuming you have a rear window that is.
We have a twin camera system, and when switched to "rear view" it shows exactly the same image as would be seen in the rear view mirror - rear window notwithstanding!
Surely you are not saying that a normal rear view mirror should not be used when driving forward??
Well, in our case . . . yes you are , so I would be interested to hear the logic.
