My 96 Bounder didn't have a back up camera, but besides the main fuse panel over the dinette, there were fuses under the dash and some in the Battery Control Center behind the front grill on the driver's side. I did replace the back up camera in my 98 Safari and the new system used different cables. It wasn't hard to run the new cable down and along the frame and up into the cab. Did the same when I installed a back up camera in the Bounder. I ran the new cable through into the cabinets above the bed and my coach had the long side cabinets on either side. I dropped the cable down through the side cabinet and in the corner behind the nightstand. Pulled the drawers and drilled through the floor. I decided the best route was through the storage compartments to where the main power went up into the interior then followed the wire chase under the dinette. From there, I ran it behind the couch along the bottom of the wall to the cab. Sealed all the holes with silicone.
Spent about half my time planning the cable run. Did a lot of rolling around on a creeper and looking for the best route. Actual installation was done on a Saturday.
If you can't find a fuse it could be connection that goes to the back up lights that tells the camera to come on when you switch into reverse unless your camera is always on. Wish I could help you on the location for that connection. You may have to troubleshoot the monitor itself and see if there's a way to power it direct to see if it'll come on. If there's an access panel to your camera look in there for a power wire too. Check it for 12V when you are in reverse if your camera only comes on in reverse. Same with the power wire to the monitor. Good luck.
