The VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera part # HM34FR does require the running light circuit for activation. So while I am not totally sure what your setup looks like you'd basically need to mount the camera where it will work the best and then run a wire from the running light circuit to it. If you were wanting to mount this on the back of a ramp I'd recommend putting it close to the middle of the ramp so that when it folds down it does not hit the ground. You might also want wire loom like the part # 7509-10 for where the wire would need to be covered around the hinge of the rear door.

You can use this on a circuit that LED trailer lights are used on as well.
