On the back of the car.
In the cab. 
Seriously though, without a pic of what it looks like it's difficult to suggest, google doesn't bring up your exact model. I fitted my camera to one of the existing holes under the large hole in the rear cross member, so i can see the tow hitch and use it for coupling as well as parking. |

Also got the camera 🎥 mounted exactly above the rear window washing spout - as per Riverboy.
Monitor clamps on to the inside rear view mirror - obviously only for the model I got. Camera live wire connected to the same of the reverse light - activates only when reverse selected. |

I tend to keep my top rear camera on all the time, it gives a much clearer view of what his behind me than the mirrors do. I can still use satnav and all the apps if I need to. Not all systems have that option I know.

It sounds as though you have the Land Rover Approved Trailair system. As well as the reversing camera you'll also likely have Tyre pressure monitoring for the car as well as the trailer - although the wheel sensors may now be missing.

Hello. Not familiar with the LR system that you mention ,mine was fitted by me last week. Supplied by mobile systems.
Tyre pressure monitoring sounds like the recent legislation introduced for cars, came in in 2013 I think? B 1983 Series 3 Pick up in Marine Blue 1967 Morris Traveller 1966 Morris Convertible 2012 VW T5 Camper Quod Abundat Non Obstat. |

TPMS and the coupling camera were part of the Trailair system, it was an optional extra but not all that common.
