Attaching a camera

Would like to mount a back-up camera on my TT. I loathe the thought of drilling into the exterior wall. The camera is very small and weighs almost nothing. Was thinking RTV silicone glue might be a good option.

Any thoughts appreciated...

I fished wires from the center marker light down to a hole I drilled in the back wall. I ran a bead of sealant around the mounting bracket before mounting the bracket and a second bead after it was screwed in place.

This thread might help you on your installation:

Our 5'r came with a backup camera installed from Jayco but I understand that you can use existing lighting and mount the bracket to that vs. drilling into the outside wall. I believe you're just piggybacking off the wiring from the lights anyhow, so I don't think that'd be too bad. Good Luck!
