I recently installed the exact set-up you are considering. I decided to buy a 50 foot extension cable. This put the transmitter at the front of my fifth wheel. I put the antenna just behind the fiberglas front cap. I wanted to be able to power the camera system on and off easily and installed a power switch on my dash. The power runs from there to the backup light connection on my trailer umbilical (which is not used on my trailer. I tied into the backup light wiring of the umbilical to power the antenna. So if the switch is on, the camera image is on the GPS screen and when off the GPS displays are there. Since the transmitter is close to the receiver, I have had no issues of interference or poor signal quality. The only hard part of the install was stringing the power and camera wires.
The image is good for backing up and seeing obstacles close to the trailer. However, since the lens is a fish eye, you don't get much of an image farther back. For example, in order to notice a vehicle behind you, the vehicle has to be VERY close to your bumper. Overall the image and camera function exactly as I'd like it to.
