The backup camera stopped working. It is a 6 pin system. If I replace it with a 4 pin. Do I have to rewire?
The less you plan the more options you have.

Yup, contact http://www.rvcams.com/

They are THE experts on adapting new components to old wiring. And, one of the very few places with techs who actually do repair work on them!

Give RV CAMS a call. They had an adaptor that converted mine.

In general, no; you should be able to adapt the existing cable. You may or may not need a new display unit (which I assume is part of the four wire unit)

Of course, if the reason it stopped working is that the wire has been damaged, then...well, rewiring is rather necessary.
