Backup camera in trailer tie into GM tailgate?

[bartlettj]

I have a '12 GMC Sierra 2500hd SLT with factory backup camera in the tailgate. I'd love to be able to disconnect the tailgate camera connection and plug my TT into it instead, like I do on the aftermarket Kenwood stereo I had in my '03. The trailer camera is just a basic 12v license plate camera with composite video wired up to the hitch area with an rca plug. Anyone know of any commercial solution? If not I guess I'll just buy a replacement camera and back in an extension.

Cable is too short.

The camera comes standard with 10’ of cable. I have to roll up the excess and tie wrap it up in the frame.

I'm taking Travel Trailer, not truck camper. I need about 35 feet assuming I mount the camera half way up the back.
Edit: Wow, $250? That's pretty steep.

I got mine for the TC from camera source as well. I bought the salt spreader model. Unplug the tailgate camera when removing the tailgate to load camper, and plug in the camera on the camper into the 2 plugs and I'm done. My camera display is in the mirror and works quite well.
There are options for up to 64 feet of cable.
