Is your vehicle fitted with collision avoidance technology?
Introducing, the world’s first reversing sensor that will automatically apply your brakes if it detects an object behind you. Late last year, we installed and tested the Reverse Alert autonomous braking system on one of our representative’s motorhomes and were very impressed. Now, the system just got better as it can be fitted to Caravans and Fifth wheelers, making it so much easier to reverse into tight situations, and avoid unnecessary collisions. Unlike other sensor systems on the market, the Reverse Alert system not only detects objects behind you, it stops you dead in your tracks before you hit them.
The Reverse Alert system activates your brakes if it senses something behind you
Before leaving for their big lap around Australia, Ray n Di had the unit installed in their motorhome. We recently caught up with them on their return and got their feedback on the unit. Di said,
“ it is definitely one of the best things we had installed. We used it quite a few times just reversing into camping spots. On one occasion we were caught down a road where the bridge was out, we were committed and had to turn around in a tight area. It required about a five point turn, but it was such a relief to know that while we were backing up we wouldn’t hit anything. Definitely peace of mind. “
How it works
The system is fitted directly to the brakes of your motorhome or in the case of a caravan to the primary towing vehicle. A secondary set of sensors are then fitted to the caravan. The sensors are fitted on the rear bumper, but additional sensors can be fitted higher up for high or oversize vehicles.
Sensors fitted to Vehicle, Motorhome or Caravan
The system is automatically activated once the vehicle is placed into reverse and is easy to use – no button pressing. The technology has three modes: 1. Normal reverse mode – a detection at 1.6m~ results in the brakes being applied automatically. 2. Auto park mode – more than 2 seconds~ of pressure on the brake pedal will reduce the sensors from 1.6m~ to 40cm~ allowing the driver to park the vehicle. 3. Auto override – After a detection the brake pedal will automatically release and the system will be in override for 8 seconds before the system becomes active again.

Reverse beepers/Alarms are already available at any good Auto electric repair place Most trucks have them already
Hi Wayne, Thanks for your feedback. Reverse Alert is actually not a beeper or alarm that warns you. It actually applies the breaks and stops the vehicle before it hits something.
