Looking to replace my original Intec backup camera and monitor (both now working). Want a 7" indash style with a color camera. Anybody done this to their RV?

as I was saying, I opted for putting my display on my rear view mirror, since it occurred to me that I was accustomed to looking there for the rear view, anyway, and the mirror is useless when towing. I put it there with stretchy velcro straps. On or off, 30 seconds. Took me awhile to come up with this, and I think it is the perfect solution as it drops into the console when I'm not towing. Plugs into a cigarette lighter type thingie directly below the display unit in the dash.
Camera: I use a wireless unit that I bought on Amazon. I wired it up to the front of the trailer (5th wheel) and the antenna is therefore sitting in a waterproof electrical box, sitting on the pinbox. So inasmuch as it is physically only a few feet from the display, and line-of-sight, it works perfectly with a clear, sharp picture that hardly ever flickers. I used shielded cable for wiring, cable-tied along the underside of the trailer. It's been there for almost three years, no problems.
