where to mount wireless camera

I have the Furrion observation camera mounted by the middle light on the back of my trailer. It works great. You can see everything that is going on behind you. It was around $300 on ebay.
Good luck

Suggestions for a good camera in my situation without breaking the bank?

You haven't told us the MY of your Apex but some of the newer Coachmen models are pre-wired to accept a Furrion Camera System ... not cheap, but I've seen one in operation and it works really well. You might want to ask your dealer if your particular trailer has this feature as it makes installation a 5 minute job. :B

I have used the below wireless system on 3 different trailers. Like you I did not want to put anymore holes in the trailers than I had to. I tied into the clearance light power wires (even though it means I have to have the clearance lights on when traveling). Mounted above the clearance lights so no one tampers with the camera. The camera I purchased is the Voyager Digital Wireless Observation System WVOS511. It has a 5.6" monitor, 60ft signal, color, night vision and sound (so if someone is helping you back up you can hear what they say). Bought from RV Cams. I think somewhere in the $400 range. But you get what you pay for.

I mounted mine high, and ran the power through the bathroom vent. My viewer is in my GPS so I mounted a switch on the fan, it wouldn't interfere with the maps.

Most have a wide angle of view so they can be mounted almost anywhere with good results. I would temporarily mount it to varies places with tape to the camper in the drive way and figure out which works best for you. Run your wire outside of the camper without drilling any holes.
