Default 2015 f-150 backup camera for camper

i have a 2015 f-150 Lariat super crew and I have the stock backup camera ... but I want to use the backup camera that is on my camper when the camper is hooked up and I want the image to show up on my factory touch screen and not a second monitor ... is there a way to do this? If so what would I need and how difficult is it?

thanks
brad

Yes you can do it. First you need to find where the video signal from the factory cam comes into the cab. For mine it is near the ebrake pedal. It is a coaxial cable. Then splice into it so you can connect your camper camera and the truck camera and the monitor to a video switch.

Cheapest one I could find. You could probably make you own using a good SPDT switch. Then you have to wire your camera to your trailer and provide a plug at the bumper that you plug in with the trailer lights.
Alternatively, you could splice into the truck camera video near the tailgate and run plugs to the bumper where you plug in the camper camera or the truck camera depending on your needs.
They do make wireless camper camera setups.

Here is a kit with all but the camera:

They also sell cameras. Even one that blutooths to your phone.
