backup beepers - protocol and rules

Are there rules or social protocols prohibiting backup beepers on rigs? The backup camera on our new-to-us RV reminds me of the cheap little black and white TVs we had years ago - the ones we thought were just fine until we could afford a better TV. I could probably see an elephant in it, if the elephant were dancing around and waving at me; but it's often pretty hard to tell what the picture's showing.

One option is, of course, to upgrade to a better TV or maybe a better camera. But I'm also thinking about a backup beeper.

These are, granted, irritating things if you're not behind the RV, about to get run over; but they're sure handy if you are in that situation.

But maybe it's considered gauche beyond words; or maybe some federal, state, or other parks won't allow them.

I'd appreciate thoughts and advice.
  • Never seen anything written one way or the other as far as "rules".

    Now social protocol would depend on where you are and how many you are
    annoying. Such as parked campers in a resort.
