Back up camera on Ford 5'er tailgate

Have a 2014 Ford F250 with the back up camera system on the factory tailgate. Of course when I put my 5th wheel tailgate on, I lose that option. Has anyone found a 5th wheel tailgate with a camera in it, especially one that has the Ford camera plug on it.
  • It took trouble but I relocated mine to the center of the brake light at the top of the cab. Now I have a clear view of the 5th wheel hitch when hooking up.
  • I've thought of doing the same thing. I did a websearch and found OEM factory replacements priced from $200-$500 depending on who's selling.

    I've got a couple of junk yards who are suppose to call me if they get a wreck in and I can salvage the tailgate emblem/camera.
    I haven't been able to find just the camera and pigtail which is what I'd rather have. I could fabricate my own mounting plate under the bumper.
