Hi Trudy,
I put the camera in the magnetic cup so I could use it on the tailgate of my old TV and on the roof of the TM. This camera is not water proof, so if it's raining you would want to pull over and take it out of the rain. That is a down side, if you live or camp in wet areas. Since I live in SoCal, I'm rarely concerned with rain.
As far as continuous use goes, the three and a half inch screen is powered by your 12v cigarette lighter outlet and the camera is powered by AA batteries, which last 6 to 8 hours of continuos use. A low battery signal appears on your screen then you have about another hour before they go dead.
Not the perfect systerm, but well worth the minimal investment.
