No worries, to power the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System, # FOS43TASF you can install a 12 VDC socket. There are options, I like the Charging Station for RVs with 2 USB Ports and a 12V Socket, # DG61023VP or Multi Device RV Charging Station, # 37215095.

There is the Hopkins 12-Volt Power Socket with Power Wire and Fuse Assembly, # HM55115 or the Hopkins 12-Volt Socket with Utility Light with Power Wire and Fuse Assembly, # HM55125. Run a wire from the battery or from the campers DC distribution panel. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below.
