Wiring for backup camera

[Crackerjack Pat]

I am installing side and rear-view cameras on my 2021 Cougar 29rls fifth wheel. The side camera installs were easy and painless. I am getting ready to install the rear-view camera and before I proceed, I need some information. My rig is prewired for a rear-view camera. There is no wiring access port on the rear of my rig and no camera mount, only a decal that has a picture of a camera and states that unit is pre-wired for a camera. Do I just drill my wiring hole directly behind that decal and hope the wiring is there? Does anyone have experience with this?
I had a rear-view camera on my last rig and loved it, but it was an older trailer that wasn't prewired, so I just replaced my center rear marker light with a camera.

Is the decal in the location where you would mount the camera? If so, i wonder if there is a port already under the decal?

It would bother me to start poking holes if there was nothing there, so I would likely ask the manufacturer or dealer about it before doing so.

I know when i mounted my bedroom tv there was a decal where your supposed to put it, and I spent a ton of time trying to find a stud or wood backer anywhere near that decal. In the end I got it mounted but I'm not sure I found I found a stud or not, even after poking a couple small holes. Luckily the tv and mount was very small and lightweight, and I've had no issues. But its nerve-racking none the less.

I installed the Furion cameras on mine. It was pre-wired and I'm sure there was a hole under that decal. I know that I did not have to drill a hole. I do recall fishing out the wiring was a PITA. Also what I found is that the wires for the camera are hot all the time. That's not optimal for me so as soon as I can get time I'm going to fish some wire from my marker lights back there and wire my camera in that circuit. It's either that or find the circuit it's on and put a switch on it. I really like the rear camera, I don't use those blind spot cameras very much.

This is a follow-up from the OP in case anyone else has this question. On the rear of my rig just below the center marker light there was a decal that showed a picture of a backup camera and the statement "pre-wired for camera" there was no port, hole or other markings after I removed the decal. I went ahead and drilled a 1-inch hole directly under where the decal was which was about 10 inches below the marker light. I fished around and didn't find any wires. I removed the center marker light and I was easily able to run a wire from the hole I drilled up to the hole the marker
light wires were connected. The side marker lights also had a decal stating they were prewired for side cameras and they actually were set up for plug and play furrion cameras. I installed a haloview system and I am very happy with the results.

I put Haloview cameras and monitor on my tractor.
