Most rear view cameras on motorhomes are positioned high on the back of the coach so you can keep an eye on the toad and get at least a partial view behind you. These are usually wide angle cameras. It should also be noted that any camera providing a view anywhere to the rear should switch the view like a rear view mirror. Standard cameras provide a direct view.

I'm not sure where to put the second camera - maybe looking down the right side of the coach to eliminate the blind spot.

If you put a camera high on the rear cap, you may be able to drill a hole through the cap and fish the wire down the inside of the cap. As an alternative, you could run the wire down the ladder and secure it with wire ties. You could then either run the wire through the basement or under the coach. Look for a location where you can run the wire through the firewall and up behind the dash.
