The cable that runs from the monitor to the camera of the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 that you referenced will need to be routed either on the interior of the vehicle, which means it would need to go under carpeting or trim panels, or it would need to route underneath the vehicle and then through a grommet in the floor to get to the monitor.

If it's a truck you will need to route it from the outside of the vehicle and then back through the interior avoiding any hot exhaust pipes or moving parts. I attached a couple install videos for you to check out that show the entire install process.
