I've already installed my rear back-up camera. I'm going to be installing a side camera on each side of my 2016 Jayco Jay Flight SLX. They are wired cameras but I'm hooking them into 3 wireless transmitters (see link). (FYI I spent the last hour searching and I might not be using the right terms, but didn't find an answer in the forums yet.)

What I would like to know is where to get the power to power the transmitters/cameras? The transmitters have to inside the trailer, the camera gets powered by the transmitter. I was thinking of putting the the transmitters on the shelf above the master bed, or in the front storage compartment.
Do the side lights of the trailer power on while the vehicle is being towed or only at night? I thought about tapping into them but I wasn't sure.
I know one possibility would be to tap into the 7 Pin harness wires, but where is a good place to tap into that if the side lights aren't an option? Jayco won't tell me anything while it's under its two year warranty. I just don't want to mess anything up.
Another question is would I be overloading things but plugging three transmitters into the same line?
As a last resort I considered tapping into the light wiring above the bed and installing a switch, but I don't want to have to remember to turn the switch on and off every time. Thanks in advance for any advice. Trying to hook everything up this weekend or next weekend.
