Somthing like this?
Gator Hybrid Wireless / Wired Selectable Reversing System (L6050) | Dick Smith Online Store (AERPro are the manafacturers)
Otherwise Colour Wireless Reversing System (L6112) | Dick Smith Online Store ?
The Gator one i have seen installed on a VE commodore and it was good quality (running through wireless). If you head to a larger store they might even be able to discount a bit more.

i would suggest an infrared ccd camera for the highest quality and brightness in a dark enviroment.
around 300.
Is it a reversing camera or an actual camera so i can view the horses??
Thankyou! HakHawks advice was very helpful!!HakHawk should be able to help you out here

A reversing camera is simply a normal camera facing the rear, so a good quality reversing camera will do the job, all you need is a monitor to connect it to. You can get a 7" monitor at Big W for $70-$100 depending if it is on special or not.
Here is the camera I bought a couple of years ago and I am very happy with the picture quality, especially for the price. It has a Sharp 1/3" image sensor unlike the cheaper cameras which use CMOS.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/A56-License-P...item4ced12738b
Here is one of the same quality but with infra red for night vision.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SUPER-HEAVY-D...item45f069f96d
You might want to get one with infra red if you plan on using it at night. Mine does not have infra red but since I use it as a reversing camera I find the reversing lights light things up really well.

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
If he got a reversing camera though, would there be a way he could make it be on all the time and not only when reversing?

Yes, mine is on all the time, it is connected to my GPS navigator and I press the A/V button when I want the camera. Instead of connecting the power wire to the reversing lights you connect it to somewhere that gives you power when the ignition is on.

try looking for a reverse camera setup which are used for caravans, these usually have a camera mounted on the back of your caravan and have a plug setup on the car and caravan so it can be unplugged. you could easily just mount the camera in the trailer, most of these reverse camera setups just use the reverse light wire to tell it to turn on but you can just wire it to any power source like an accessory feed or maybe use your parklight wire so you can turn it on by just turning your parklights on

what setup did you end up going with out of curiosity?
I'm Going with the camera and monitor from Autobarn, thats the one i liked the most!! Haven't had a chance to install it yet!!! Cost me about $438.00.
