Rear camera built into clearance light
I have a 2019 Thor Freedom Elite 24HE. The rear clearance light with built in rear camera has many of the LED lights out so that it does not pass state inspection. But, the rear camera works fine. Thor Parts informed me that it is part number 0404350 and lists for $234.65. They did not provide the manufacturer and I cannot find that part number through any internet search. Amazon lists a unit that looks like the one on my RV for $109.
Has anyone had to replace their clearance light/rear camera on a 2019 Thor? Do you know if it is a 4 pin or 5 pin cable?

Yes, there are a couple of threads here on replacing that assembly. Try using the search feature. I'll see what I can find.
This thread says it is 5 pin:

I coat mine with RejeX twice a year when doing the RV to help protect the plastic lens from UV damage. Also inspect the clear sealant around it and replace if needed at least once a year. DON'T use silicone... use ProFlex or similar.

where is the wire?
My 2015 just had the camera go completely out... I pulled it off the back and there doesn't seem to be a plug. Do I need to take apart the cabinet to find it? Maybe the wire goes the whole way? Did yours have an accessible plug when you pulled it out?

Yes, there is a plug back there.

how far was the plug from the camera? I have already pulled two feet worth, and haven't found a plug. I pulled until it stopped coming. I hope I don't have to disassemble cabnetry.

Looks like about a 6 foot pigtail:
Depending on the floorplan (what Year/Make/Model RV do you have?) there is usually a curved , removable panel at the top of the rear wall that can be slipped out of the retainers to give you access to the wiring up there.

Access to mine is as ACE describes... We have a class C with a thin curved panel running across the rear where the back wall meets the ceiling. Mine was stapled in place... I used a plastic spudger tool to carefully pry the curved piece out enough to reach behind to access the cable.
The cable may not come out from outside because the connector plug is too large to fit through the hole. Also the cable slack is often zip tied inside behind the curved panel.
Our camera was DOA when we bought the rig new in 2019... the plug had evidently shorted and was replaced by the dealer under warranty. Me - being curious - opened it up to inspect after the fact
