Installed a Rear View Safety camera system
Got a Rear view Safety 7" rear view camera system, installed it today. Took several hours, but 80% was running the cable (surface mount on the exterior rear, attaching to the frame under the unit...

I pm'd Sfla2, but figured others might want to know what I bought.
Wireles camera transceiver kit
5" LCD screen
Rear view camera
I am still finalizing where I will mount the camera. The screen is just stuck onto the dash with some really strong 3M outdoor double stick adhesive strip (the foam stuff). The screen and receiver get power from the fuse box. For the last trip I moved the camera and it worked really well.
I have a 26' Jamboree with the transmitter mounted to the ladder all the way at the back. The camera is also on the ladder. I like the height now, but I will move it to a central position. When I drill a hole to get the wires inside it will punch through right into the rear, top cabinet. That means all wires will be easy to run and hide. I replaced my refrigerator with a residential 120V unit and one of the old wires only has 12V when the ignition is on. That is how I will power the camera. It's perfect because I use the camera for a constant rear view.
In the day time it's color. At night it goes black/white. The camera can see in the dark with IR, but I have noticed that the brake lights really help too. I plan to add some SUPER bright led strips at the rear with both red and IR led's.
