Rear view Safety Camera Installation Help

[jdaddy33]

I recently purchased a camper (travel trailer) that came with a wired review safety camera system on the trailer so you can always see behind the unit while driving. The guy wanted to keep the wiring and display unit installed in his truck because he was purchasing a new trailer. Here is a link to the system I bought just for reference

Not sure if anyone has installed on of these or not but it looks like I basically need to run a wire from the back of my truck, come up through the floor wire grommet on the driver side and then they want me to tap into an "ignition only" power source in the fuse box. It doesn't specify what amp of fuse to tap into. Can anyone point me in the direction of what amp would be good to tie into (10, 15, etc?). Says it needs 12 Volts of power. You can also wire directly to battery, but it makes more sense for my setup to use the fuse box since I'll be mounting the display unit on the far left of my dash. I also don't like the idea of always having to unplug or it will drain battery. I found one video on youtube (below) that is close to the unit I purchased (only it shows a 3 camera setup w/module) but it doesn't go into detail on how to tie into fuse box. Around 9:00 minutes in that vid is where he shows fuse box. Also what is best way to tie in the wire to the fuse? Thanks in advance for any help.

It is ok but to be honest there are cheaper and better options. Like a harness that allows for 2 camera input on factory screen. Then it comes on automatically with reverse. Then there are a million cameras out there wire less also.

I hear you but the trailer already came wired up with this system and a camera already, so didn't make sense for me to go buy a whole new system and rip out the old one (yes I probably would have went wireless, but half of this system was already in place) he added into the deal of the travel trailer

So you want a rap wire?
