To ensure that you will be fine after adding the camera and the 12V fans, you will want to verify the amperage draw on the fuse protecting your vehicle's 12V power wire in the towing package. Then you will want to determine the amp draw of the 12V fans and the camera to make sure that they will not exceed the fuse's amp draw.
Typically vehicle's have a 40 amp fuse protecting their trailer wiring 12 V power wire.
I think you should be fine adding the camera and the fans, but you can check to amperage to be sure. The LED lights draw extremely minimal amperage and they will draw their power from a different wire than the camera and fans.
