Expert Reply:
The Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF has a single trigger wire that you can run to basically any trailer wiring circuit you want but the easiest and best solution for most people is running it to the running light circuit as this allows you to flip on the running lights and see what's behind you at any point. So basically how this would look for you when reversing your trailer would be just a matter of flipping on your headlights or running lights as you go to back the trailer up and you'd be able to see behind you.
Running it to a reverse light circuit wouldn't allow you to see behind you when on the highway which is the big drawback there.

Can I have the camera on while I am inside my trailer without the truck lights on? Can I view the monitor plugged into 110 or converter inside my trailer?
