OK. Thank you. I have a platinum so I think I need the lvds camera and I found a kit on eBay with and without the camera. Probably get the camera a little cheaper elsewhere. I just need to find the spare tire crank so I can lower it and look around back under there. Which I cannot find.
All the tailgate connectors are accessible without dropping spare tire. Lay under the rear of the truck and they are near the frame on the drives side. The two large connectors are the main tailgate connectors and relate to the "tailgate removal kit" that is the main subject of this thread. The backup camera is it's own small individual connector nearby (as well as some other individual connectors depending on trim; platinum have more connectors than Lariat, for example).
The only connector under the spare, as I recall, is the camera connector for the optional trailer camera, which is a camera you mount to the rear of your trailer and that view is accessed separately on sync4. That is separate from the backup camera.
For ease of day to day use, I recommend your camper use the backup camera circuit so it automatically comes on when in reverse. The trailer camera view you have to pull up manually every time you want to see that view.
