Replace back up camer and monitor?
Looking to replace my original Intec backup camera and monitor (both now working). Want a 7" indash style with a color camera. Anybody done this to their RV?

I like slarsen's solution. I also have my monitor in the inside rear view mirror position, but it doubles as a mirror and is shaped like one. I got it from one of the Amazon stores & it has two video inputs so I can switch from the camera that is aimed at my 5th wheel hitch to the rear view camera by pushing a button.
I bought six waterproof, 12v wide angle video cameras from Amazon and mounted 2 of them in my truck. (The other four are used as security cameras to feed my household security DVR and alarm system...all 12v & solar charged.) Both of my truck cameras are wired with disconnect plugs in the vicinity of the trailer plug.
I found out about the dual video mirror gadget from a guy that had front & back cameras on his motor home. His front camera looked down at his front bumper from the top of the rig so he could see how close he was getting to things with the front bumper.
If you are looking to replace the whole system, check out farm implement dealers for the wireless video systems they use to monitor their seed planters, etc. They seem to be a bit cheaper than RV setups and you know they have to be rugged if they are intended to be mounted on a corn planter!
