In the middle... Second one is for lining up the hitch.
One on the camper is on a quick disconnect, next to the RV pigtail.
Hitch eye:
I'm not sure why folks worry so much about 'drilling holes'.. how do they think all that stuff on the camper got attached in the first place?
Camper is a tool. That doesn't mean it should look like your tool shed, but don't be afraid of setting it up and using it like you want.

I mounted a Plug & Play backup camera from Camera-Source on the back/underside of our AF 811's Fox Landing, giving us a view very similar to the OEM tailgate camera's view.
My camper is presently under cover so I can't take a photograph, but here is what I did.
Mounted the camera to a bracket that is attached to the ladder tube frame. It projects out to the right from the ladder so their is no impediment to using the ladder. As you can see there is very close access to the marker light.

This is the bracket(called bull bar bracket). It is designed for mounting a light bar to a vehicle. You will need the 1" diameter size(measure the diameter of your ladder tube to be sure). I only had to drill one extra hole in the bracket arm to attach the camera to it. You can find this on eBay.

I have this system.
I currently have the monitor mounted almost laying in floor in front of center console.
right now I have the Camper camera hooked up to alligator clips so I can move it around and see what works best.
I do use my ladder. I don't go all the way up to roof, but I need it to get my satellite dish up to its "porch" where it sits while in use.

I cant help with specific mounting location an Artic Fox but might pass on thoughts to consider for height.
I recently mounted cameras on both truck and camper. Truck is above license plate @3' from ground. Camper is 9'+ unmounted.
With both adjusted to see bumpers, on truck I can see across the street or better rearward, camper I can see about 12-15' (unmounted, should improve once on truck). But its the relative width closest to vehicle (bottom of screen), that changes the most.
From camper, field of vision at bottom screen or closest to camper is about 6' width. Truck, the portion of bumper shown (bottom of screen) is only about 12" width. Mostly because of the fish-eye lens but closer object is to camera the more it fills up screen. The lower the camera greater the distance rearward but also the greater the difference in what you see in screen between top and bottom.
Truck is hard to judge distance because as view further back the distance is more compressed, closer you get to something it fills up screen. Car is about 4 1/2' away end of drive is 40', width from 12" to 100'. Camper, though you cant see as far rearward, the distance isn't skewed and field of vision/width doesn't decrease. I could back up to brick wall and not hit it. Truck I lose perspective-great for hitching but in general needs to be higher.
All depends on what you want to see. Ideally placement would be with live camera to verify what you'll see. Not sure mounted under bumper field of vision would include width wanted?
