Hey Ben,
For the RVS Camera # RVS87FR you technically could, but it would require modification to the camera. The camera itself runs on an internal rechargeable battery, paired with the monitor that plugs into your 12V accessory port in your vehicle. With that said, you could, but since there is no 12V hookup for the camera it would take some DIY modification and wiring that would ultimately void the warranty.
What are you towing mainly that you are looking to get a better view of?

Hi Nick, I am wanting to install a camera on our sand spreader to watch how much sand is left in it while sanding streets instead of having to get out and climb up and look all the time. any suggestions? sander is in a dump box so I would like a wireless so I don't have to run 30+ feet of cable, I do have 12 volt power on the sander.
