: Need Help With Backup Camera Wiring

Waited 'till the last minute http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/badidea.gif to install a backup camera on our fifth wheel and need quick assistance with wiring and cable routing before hitting the road in 2 days for a 5 week trip.

1. Need a switched hot lead and a ground. Where can I most easily get the hot lead? Is there some way to tap into one of the connections on the driver's side fuse panel?

2. I need to run the camera cable (1/4" diameter) from the bed of the truck to a screen I have mounted on the overhead console. Anyone know where I can get that cable from under the truck into the cab? Hopefully without drilling any new holes in the sheet metal.

Thanks much.
