I installed a similar camera, and I wired it to the running lights, as has been suggested.
You'll want to have the transmitter from the camera as far forward as possible in the trailer. You may also have to keep your cell phone as far as possible from the receiver/display unit in the truck or tow vehicle. I found that there was a fair bit of radio frequency interference from my cell phone when it was close to the receiver.
Here's an LOL moment: I installed my camera on the rear bumper of the trailer. Everything was fine until the first time I went to empty my tanks. Yup. I had drilled and screwed into the stinky slinky stored in the rear bumper. Embarrassing.
