Back up Camera for a camper

If you have a factory Backup camera and want to plug in an auxiliary camera when the tailgate is removed for a camper here is the solution.  I ordered the factory harness from the dealer and it worked great! My camper back up camera plugs in like the tailgate and displays in my factory mirror.
I cut off the end that plugs into the tailgate camera and wired it to my camera on the Camper. The only wire I didn’t use was the shielded ground. I used CS-UCCD commercial camera (W/RCA plug) 2. CS-RCA25 (any video cable will work and come in all lengths) RCA cable 3. CS-GMVSS1 RCA pigtail for tapping into the factory harness wires with video cable from camera source.
Connection was to
Video hot (wh-gn) and ground (bn-vt)

Power hot (vt-gy) and ground (bk)
I can send wire diagram and pictures upon request

Found this thread while searching for info to help my hitching situation.

I just spent 45 minutes hitching up my GN trailer to my new 2015 F350 Platinum. The back seat has a center head rest that is higher than my previous truck a 2009 F350 FX4. The darkness and tight parking area didn't help. I'm glad the wife wasn't home. She'd hate me.
I'm ordering this ASAP and adding a camera to watch the bed/hitch and also one for the back of the trailer. Sharing here in case others have not seen it.
