Aftermarket backup camera for truck-bed camper, tailgate removed

[Jeff1759]

My slide in truck-bed camper is in production and will probably ready for pickup in Sept. To use the camper, the tailgate will be removed and stored.
My truck is a 2021 3500 Laramie w/surround view.
Searching for backup cameras, I've found this:

Relocation Kit With Camera Included, Fits 2019-2021 RAM® 2500,3500 W/360 View

Camera included!

Seems like it will work, but I am a little hesitant with the price.
Wondering if I can find a less expensive solution.
I like the fact that it is basically plug and play and there is no need for another monitor.
Has anyone done similar and care to share your experience?

This is the camera you need from that kit- 68417514AA
This is the extension coax cable from that kit- https://www.amazon.com/Bingfu-Exten...aWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1
The rest of the cost of that kit (~$300 of it) is the plastic mount for the camera. All you have to do is find a cheaper method to mount the camera.

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for me Jimmy07! Sometimes there is so much out there that my head starts spinning.

Will this extension coax work for the non 360? Any issues with this particular coax being exposed to the elements, water, dirt, etc.
