Reverse Alert Warning brake and Alarm
I wonder if similar systems exist in the U.S. Tragedies have happened where small children /animals have been injured or killed by a backing Motorhome Facebook page of Reverse Alert Australia

I use a three prong system - OK, I'm a bit anal about this (and a few other things according to DW).
On our B, I do have a backup alarm - when in Reverse gear only.
We frequently pull a trailer (motorcycle inside, etc.) so I have a back up camera on both the B and on the trailer, and can use either from the drivers seat. There are Hella "fogs" as back up lights as well, again controlled from the driver's seat. Makes nighttime a LOT easier.
And, finally, or should I say firstly, when we get to a campsite, I always stop, get out, walk around what I need to do - trees, limbs, posts, pets, kids, whatever - talk it over with DW, and back in.
While backing, we also have two-way radio communication between us, should it be necessary.
Daytime is quite easy. After dark, well, IMHO the details pay dividends.
Knock on wood, haven't hit anything yet.
Cheers.
