Not sure about the wiring on that model. Have you considered running a new camera cable under the chassis? That way everything will be new and should work great. Most camera/monitors come with the cable. All you will need to do is find a 12 volt lead and ground for the monitor. The camera gets it's power from the cable.
This is the camera set up I installed, got it from ebay
There are 3 different camera cable lengths available. 32', 49' or 65'

The wiring for the b/u camera runs at the roofline. The cover that contains the cable is in the top, side of the ceiling. it is held in place with screws about every two feet. I doubt that you have a cable problem. Most likely you have moisture in the camera. to check this, get on a ladder and look in the lens. If you see moisture, that is most likely your problem. next, would tbe the moniter. your best bet would be to borrow a friends moniter and hook it up to yours. If it works,replace the monitor. Both the camera and moniter should still be avialable. Try online first. If no luck contact fleetwood. Of course, it will be much more expensive from fleetwood. I am assuming you have checked for 12 volts at the moniter. there are two fuses for the system. one is in the elec. panel the second is about two feet from the moniter. It is an inline fuse. Just follow the power cord back from moniter to find it. If you stay with the same mfr. and replace the camera or moniter you wont have to rewire.

Call RVCAMS and tell them what you got and they will tell you how it is wired up and what you can replace it with and they have great prices on new systems. They are very helpful.

I passed on the wireless setup. All I have spoke to say the camera picks up interference at times.

On my old 94 34J they had ran the wire along the floor on the left side of the coach.

Just did my 94 34J with a new camera and 7" monitor - from Overstock.com, and was a great buy - cheaper than anywhere else, plenty of cable, etc. The old cable runs through the top outside trim piece (rivited) and the side trim piece (rivited). I instead brought it inside of the rear wall cabinet, then down into the water tank compartment, through that, then underneath the coach to the front, and back up through the existing holes to the dash. EZ, but the coach felt a lot longer crawling on my back for all that distance! Let me know if I can be of any more help.
