Does anyone have any experience installing camera kits on a expanda caravan like such....
. Can it be done? Can I just drill into the hinged roof of the bed end?

When I had one, I put it down through the chassis rail, then some pipe down to the rear, drilled a hole through the bumper at back right, then up the inside of the fibreglass to the top right
parking light (removed the light to use a mouse), drilled a hole in the middle just below the Poptop piece the used the mouse to feed the wire from the light to this hole. A bit of time, but a neat result.

Wire...should have said camera cable.
At the time wireless was no good.
Maybe worth looking at wireless (I gather they have improved).

Lee, the camera doesn't need to be at centre. It can be mounted toward the right-hand side just above the RHS tail light. It can be turned slightly to include coverage to the left.
If it is only for reversing then a wireless camera, powered from the reversing lamp circuit at the tail-light will eliminate the need to run wiring to the tow vehicle.
Even if you wanted it as a driving 'rear vision mirror' it could still be wireless and powered from the tail-light circuit. Just drive with your
parking (or head lights) on.
