I temporarily tie-wrapped my camera cable to the roof rack, down the ladder, then under the TC overhang, under the TC wing to the Truck sliding back window. I put a coupling outside the Truck back window, then opened the slider enough for the cable to pass through. I used a piece of foam insulation in the slider. From the slider I ran the cable to the dash monitor. I plug the monitor in the cig/aux on the dash.
I have no need to lock the pass through window with the TC loaded, and can disconnect the cable when unloading, then lock the window. As I stated that was temporary years ago. It is still the same, with no reason to change it.
Do mount your camera below the clearance light. If above, the light will mess with the infrared of the camera.
As this photo shows, the wire is only obvious from the camera to the rack. A little paint the same color as the TC would hide the wire. I do need another tie-wrap on the ladder.
