Host Mammoth - adding rear view camera
For those that added rear view cameras, how did you route the wires. Im wanting to mount the camera at top center just to the left of the slide out. I was considering running the wires on the outside ...

What I did was I got a wireless rear view cam and wired it to one of my clearance lights. The one I got was a Furrion and it works very well, remote wireless receiver in the truck, transmitter is on the cam in the back. I can have the truck completely out from under the camper and sitting in the yard and it still has a good signal.
The one I bought comes with a housing and everything plus you can overlay a back up grid with a touch of a button on the receiver in the truck. No wires on the camper (except fishing out a clearance light wire), everything stays hidden inside the camper.
I don't have a Host but I bet it would work just fine.
+1 if the camera is wireless, the only wiring needed is power and the clearance lights are a handy source of power.
I actually ran a separate circuit with an illuminated rocker switch, wall mounted so I can energize the cam without having the clearance lights on so I can use it day or night... Just me I guess. My clearance lights are all LED as well.
