Backup Camera and Monitor replacement ?'s

My 07 Georgetown 350DS has an old Voyager B&W camera and an old Tube style Monitor mounted in the dash. I have a few questions about how to fix and replace this system.

1. My current review monitor is mounted high up on the back of Motorhome just below a plastic cap. No idea where the wire goes so no idea how you could fish a new wire through that plastic cap and down along the fiberglass? Any idea how to do this ?

2. My old tube monitor is going to leave a large hole in the dash. I'd like to mount the new camera in the same hole wher this camera was mounted. Any ideas on how to fill this hole and make it look decent and not like a hack job?

Thanks. Any help or ideas especially about running the new wire would be appreciated. That's going to be the big challenge.

"TUBE" monitor??? What a crackup Sir. I highly doubt that your dash monitor has TUBES in it. I think they went out about 50 years ago or so. As for new setups, there's plenty of them on ebay, Amazon and, RVcams.com. About 90% of the time, the ends of an old setup WILL NOT apply to a complete setup. Therefore, a new cable with new ends will be needed. Not always but, most of the time.
As for fishing the new cable up to the present place of your old camera, well, that remains to be seen if it can or cannot be done.

Now, pertaining to your dash and it's present monitor, depending on the actual size, there seems to be plenty of replacements out there are actually very close to the original size. If not, you can fabricate of a sort of "Piture frame" type situation that will allow for a smaller monitor and yet fill in the border area with some creativity. Good luck.
