Expert Reply:

For a 5th Wheel Tailgate like # VGD-10-4000, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Flush Mount Camera # RVS-7707721 or the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - Mirror with Monitor # RVS-772718 with this same camera. This is one of the more rare flush mounted cameras that will allow you to run the wires through the tailgate to give you a really clean look. You can mount the camera inside the composite tailgate or attach it to the outside.

The outside lens diameter of the camera is 1.15 x1.18x 1.54 inches according to my contact at Rear View Safety. If you want to use the factory monitor then you will use Rear View Safety Splice Kit # RVS-SPK01 to convert to your factory wiring.

There is not a specific backup camera system compatible with a 5th wheel tailgate, so each application will be customized, but it is absolutely possible and has been done.
