Using the running lights to power the camera really makes it convenient for me. I use our Garmin 760 GPS for the display, and when I turn on the running lights, the GPS display changes to the camera.
This is the four pole relay I used, should be able to find the equivalent on Amazon or local auto parts store:

Here is my chicken scratch sketch for the wiring:
My running light wires were run under the TT and were easy to access by dropping the comoplast at the rear of the TT.
One thing that initially threw me off was that the TT's running lights were powered with the green not the brown wire. It may be unique to my trailer, but worth noting and checking before cutting wires.
