A little different install, I used a Garmin camera that sends via Bluetooth to the Garmin RV 765 GPS. Used a motorcycle style clamp fixture attached to near the top, inside of the rear trailer ladder. Ran the cable inside a split loom down the ladder and along the outside of the trailer frame, on top of the lower I-frame, behind the steps well, and finally up into the door side (passenger side) propane tank compartment. There I intercepted the 12vDC positive wire to the side marker light for powering up the camera (need to have trailer marker lights on to use). Grounded to the chassis. Mounted the Bluetooth sender to the frame there also, to communicate with the Garmin GPS. Tapping the screen will jog between road information and rear of trailer views. My next new truck tow vehicle will incorporate trailer camera views, etc., but waiting for 2023 models to be available, also will have paid off my wife’s Christmas-Bday-Mother’s Day-whatever day Lexus gift
This is a different install than what you’re planning, but wanted to give you options.
