Not for a camera application, but I ran a wire in from the battery under
the seat. This went across the inside front of the underseat locker to the
double bulkhead on the passenger side end of the rear seat locker. From
there, into and under the "secret compartment" and from there forward under
cabinets and carpet--stopping for an inline fuse where it can be accessed
inside the pantry cabinet. From there forward under the front cockpit
carpet and up under the dash.
