I mounted my camera in the center above the rear window, and routed the cable as follows:
1) I ran the camera cabling across the top of the trailer, over to the street side, ran the cabling down inside the rubber molding to the underneath side of the trailer, and into a small drill hole that provides access to the sewer hose storage.
2) From there, the cable was strung along the underneath side of the trailer, up through the street side propane tank area and into the top of the front storage area.
3) A small hole was then drilled just above (and actually into the top of the overhang above) the front storage door. The wire was then routed outside the trailer from this hole to the pin box.
4) When complete, this leaves the wiring exposed in 2 places: 1) 4' horizontally along the back top of the trailer roof over to the street side, and 2) 3' from the exit hole above the front storage door to the back side of the pin box.
5) I purchased a package of white (double back stick on) cable/wire managers at Fry's. This is the type material that is often used to run wiring on the outside of cinder block walls, along the back of desks etc.
I installed one cable manager along the top of the gelcoat rear cap, parallel and about 1" behind the rear-cap-to-rubber-roof-seal. The manager traverses from the center of the coach across the top of the rear end cap, over to the street side of the roof. This manager is almost exactly the same color as the fiber glass, and can not be seen while standing on the ground. The wire was routed through this wire manager and into the rubber molding that travels down the rear street side of the trailer.
I then installed an approximate 3' strip of the same cable manager along the underneath side of the overhang from the driller hole to the pin box, and installed the wire inside.
Hope the above makes sense. It works and looks neat. I'm happy. I now am able to see my bikes mounted onto the back hitch mount, and see how the motorcycle trailer is towing behind my Monty - that is, if I ever get a rear hitch installed someday?
