I use a Rear View Safety camera , ask for a plug adaptor.
Wired for power , and switched by the door in the camper , the only other connection for the camera is the RCA plug , which I put a RCA to `F` connector adaptor on and run rg6 coaxial cable thru the camper to the same location as the camper plug - a coax splice as a disconnect, for camper removal . Then RG6 thru the truck , another RCA to `F ` at the monitor in the cab.
With the camper switch at the door on , and the monitor wired to the reverse lights , works well .My monitor can also bypass the back-up `on` function and have the camera on full time for a view when towing. Switched off in camper when camper is stored.
Using rg6 you can put a tv type splice as the cable runs thru the camper near the camper tv if you have one , and using the input on the tv see who`s at the camper door if you get a knock in the nite
