Jim (ncfischers) and I installed cameras on my unit. We mounted the rear camera above the windows on the fiberglass. Drilled a hole in the fiberglass for the coax lead. Put a low profile panel box in the rear wall of one cupboard which gives us access to the splice and allowed the cable to run down to the floor. We ran the wire down to the under belly through a hole in the floor. Put the coax in a protective tube that is tie wrapped to the frame up to the front battery box compartment. Forced a path for the coax to the hitch and wired in a junction box there. Two side cameras are also routed from the propane compartments to the front hitch.

I have a patch cable from trailer to truck. The coax for the truck also runs in protective ducting from the rear fender to the cab area coming in through the engine fire wall access.

I feel solid wiring makes a much more reliable system.
