I would encourage installing a light that is intended to be a backup light on your motorhome. You may want to check out part # BUL35CB. This is a 16-diode LED light that is certified as a back-up light when installed as a pair.

This light also requires a grommet, part # A33GB, and a 2-wire pigtail, part # A45CB.

The Custer 4-LED Strobe Light or Running Light, part # STRL4A is actually designed to be a running light or a strobe light. You could attach it to the reverse light circuit on your motorhome and it would indeed act as a backup light. You would want to attach the reverse light circuit from your motorhome to the Black wire of the light assembly. You will want to attach the white wire as a ground and tape or cap off the red wire of this assemble. The red wire is what makes the light act as a strobe. Since this is designed as a running light it may not provide enough illumination as a back-up light.
