The Rear View Safety Backup Camera System # RVS-062710 is a pretty much closed system with each component having a connector to connect to the wiring instead of splicing. Most likely the camera that isn't working has a loose connection so you'd want to start by removing the camera from your motorhome and checking the connector to ensure it's fully secured. From there you would need to trace the wire up to monitor checking every connection point for anything loose.

If you find each connection point is good then the camera itself might be the issue and will need to be replaced with part # RVS-777. These cameras take a lot of abuse and some don't end up making it. I've seen quite a few with water damage that end up just having to be replaced to restore the view. Having ran wire through multiple motorhomes I completely understand the struggle of tracing wire through walls and sympathize with you for the task you have ahead of you.

@Carmen If your camera stopped working then I would first check to see if it has power running to it with a multimeter. If not then you probably have a blown fuse and will need to restore power for the camera to function again. Since your light is out too I'm assuming they're both on the same circuit and the fuse is blown. If this is a camera on the back of your RV then make sure you have your running lights on in the Pathfinder. You can also test the 4-pole or 7-way connector to see if the signal is coming through. If not, then you most likely have a blown fuse on the Pathfinder or the wiring could've been damaged.
