I do respect and understand your thoughts on going with a wired system. But wireless has finally caught up and is now very reliable.
I have a wireless BC-20 camera on the rear of my 40' fiver and the signal is great. The BC-20 camera is made by garmin and is compatible with my Garmin GPS display. The image syncs wirelessly and displays on my GPS screen no additional monitor required. Actually I'm not a big fan of rear cameras, but once I had my Garmin GPS adding the camera to it was too easy to pass up.
I'm not suggesting that you go Garmin, but I'm just giving you one example of a wireless system that I know works. Furrion who are infamous for their cheap RV electronics also makes a reliable wireless backup camera that is installed OEM on many units. There are others decent wireless options as well.
10 years ago or so wired was the reliable way to install a rear camera, but in 2019 there are lots of wireless options that actually work!
Before you go cutting connectors and running wires I think you should take another look at your wireless options, improvements have been made.
