I have a 2008 Sabre rear kitchen and I'm installing a rear camera. Just wondering if anyone else has a Sabre and has installed a rear camera. Trying to get the cable between the wall to top of the camper. At this time I have mounted the camera on the latter, but would rather have this inside the wall so it is hiden. Thanks for any input in this matter.

Seem to remember looking at the Sabre line when we were looking for our 5th.
Walls are the fiberglass/foam laminate type as I recall.
In that case you're going to have a hard time trying to get a wire fished thru the dense foan core
You'd be much better off running the camera wire down the back and underneath as I did (Rockwood has same construction)
Mounted my camera on the spare tire, and wire-tied the cable to the gas pipe that ran front to rear (rear kitchen)

I have a camera mounted on the rear of my rear kitchen Terry. I replaced the rear center running light lens with an electrical box from Home Depot. I mounted the camera in the box and drilled a 1/2 hole thur the wall into the cabinet. I fished all wires thru to the inside cabinet back wall. The video cable I ran from the overhead rear cabinet, thru the back wall of the pantry, behind the microwave over, under the sink and out thru the floor where all other wiring came thru. Then along the frame to the front, along the edge of the overhang to the electric cord. I then taped the video cable to the electric hookup cord. When I hook up I connect the video cable to the truck video cable which I fish from the read to the front drivers side and thru the fire wall into the cab where I hook to the monitor. Works great.

I mounted my rear view camera on the outside with some stainless steel screws. Then ran the cable down along the ladder and under the belly cover to the front of the fiver battery compartment and out with the 7-pin cable. Works great and easy to access if needed.
