Do you have any advice about/experience with aftermarket backup cameras for a Prius? I should have bought the model that came equipped with one.

I have one on my RV. They work pretty well, and you can have them installed in a variety of places. I suggest checking out an RV dealership where they install them.

Do you really need one with a Prius?  
Won’the mirrors and placing right arm behind the passenger seat, helping you turn around and look, be good enough?

My Physical Therapist friend would say to turn around and stretch.
