Backup camera and hiding the wiring..
Tomorrow I plan on installing my Garmin BC-20 backup camera. I want to mount the camera high and centered on the rear of my fifth wheel. So my question is this..... Is there typically any space betwee...

I don't have answer to your question ... but having installed one of those last month, I'm curious how far forward are you planning on mounting the transmitter?
I thought I was going to be able to get away with mounting the transmitter in the back, quick simple installation. Only a 28' 5er, thought I'd be well inside the range. Test image after tapping into power and hanging the camera inside looked promising. I drilled through the back, got it mounted, calked and felt good about my work. All wiring is enclosed in the cabinet above the rear window.
I haven't called Garmin yet, I'm assuming I'm a bit too far. While on the road, my display randomly switches between the navigation screen and the remote camera. I'm thinking reception is being lost and re-established. Picture (when on!) is acceptable to have confidence I'm clear to make a lane change. Real nice for backing into sites or storage without a spotter.
