When were MHs 1st Sold with (stock) Backup Cams?

Hi there.

Do y'all know when they 1st started producing MHs with back up cameras? Were they standard or stock? or did they come as an upgrade?

    wow, 1986. I know the first one was on a car but it was at a car show, in 1956.

    Not sure why you're asking, but if it's a deal breaker for you keep in mind that a modern solution that includes a camera and in-dash screen (combined with a head unit that also has a modern sound system and Android or IOS integration (i.e., navigation) can be had pretty cheap. If I were shopping for a rig I'd have the backup camera toward the bottom of the must-haves list.
