rear view camera

I am thinking of installing a full time rear view camera in my old Southwind.

It will need about 35 feet of wiring if I go wired but I would like to go wireless. I plan to do an interior mount using the rear window for the camera to see out. I have a Television in the front of the rig that has all the "right" connections (RCA, HDMI, CAT 5 etc).
What ideas do you have for me and do any of you have a recommended brand.
PLEASE DO NOT POST A GOOGLE search. I have looked on the net and now I want input from those who HAVE ACTUALLY DONE such an install.
If you found a brand you love let me know and if you had a dud brand please let me know

    I have a full time rear camera and monitor in my MH,
    I like having it, The monitor position is below the Speedometer and I check it every thirty seconds as well as the gauges.
    I installed the camera about 1 ft below the original and I can see the tow car as well as the trucks trying to run it over. I used the 35 ft cable as I figure that the wireless wouldn't work that great at 32 ft.
