Running wire for rear-view camera

[garympeck]

I purchased a wired camera system from www.rvrearviewcamera.com and installed it on our 1996 Excella. I refused to make any holes in the skin so I mounted the camera on the rear bumper, ran the cable under the AS attaching to existing wiring with zip ties or by mounting cable holders to the pan (excess wiring is store in the rear pullout under the bumper). Since this unit is totally powered from the tow vehicle I mounted the cable on the front a frame. I mounted the tow vehicle cable next to the existing factory trailer hookup and ran the cable under my 2015 GMC Sierra HD2500 bringing it in to the passenger compartment through the firewall. To minimize wiring I used a 12v lighter plug for power and mounted two hangers to the rear of the monitor so I can hang it over the factory rear view mirror. I wired the camera to always be on when the monitor is on and powered that way it's a great safety camera as I can see everything behind the AS while driving with great night vision too! The AS wiring is connected to the Sierra by a curled cable and it provides for an easy hook up or disconnect. When I'm not towing the monitor is stored under the rear seat and the power cable is hidden under the front dash.
This system and hookup works great, was inexpensive, easy to install and movable if we ever get a different AS.

Is that the correct link? I went there for a looksee and it seems to show a wireless camera.
