My '96 Pace Arrow 35 has a rear view camera enclosed in a fiberglass housing that attached to the roof/back of the coach.  It's likely original equipment. (its a black and white, and the monitor looks like an old CRT TV)

I want to replace it, and I'd like to place the new camera, if possible, into the housing.  Question I have is, how do I open up this enclosure?  It appears to have rivets holding it together (plastic rivets?). The top seam of this piece has been covered over with the rubber roofing material, so I imagine I'll be cutting and re-sealing that area....

Even if I cannot mount the new camera inside there, I need to access the power wires, so I'll have to open it up.

I'm planning to use a wireless camera, but not sure if the antenna will fit, or work well, inside this housing.

any guidance or advice humbly accepted. :)
 
most of the time that I have dealt with fiberglass enclosed camera mounts the replacement is easy. 

1. Cover old hole leaving power wire exposed through small hole
2. Mount new camera enclosure to plate used to cover hole
3. Wire new camera in and seal all openings
