Even with the rear and side mirrors adjusted properly, they do not help to see in the blind area. A rear camera or Hitchcam can be very helpful when backing up in tight quarters. I have a Hitchcam on my H3 and it helps a lot.

Yeah well I just have my kid stand on the center consel with with his head out the sunroof. He is the backup buzzer. "beep, beep, beep"! No accidents yet.
