I guess I wasn't clear, C.G. No, I'm not replacing the whole cable. In fact, the direction I'm going - staying with the same manufacturer, staying with a cable rather than wireless connection - is about minimizing the work needed to have a usable backup camera*. I just couldn't reach the connection between the cable running from the front to the back of the RV and the pigtail from the camera without pulling all that trim off. I've confirmed with the manufacturer (Voyager) that the connector on the camera pigtail is the same from the old camera to the new one.
I could touch the connection without pulling all that trim, but sure couldn't take it apart; just not enough room/fingers not strong enough/couldn't tell how the connection "made."
*It has been hard to tell, with the existing camera/display, what it is that I'm about to run over. The manufacturer suggests that a better camera might be enough and that the existing monitor is probably fine. I sure hope so, because the work involved in replacing the wiring for a newer monitor is daunting.
