How have you confirmed that it is "not getting power"? The hookup is very simple, I believe you have the right polarity, and the license light comes on, so I'm not sure how the camera could not be getting power. Are you sure your connections are good? Is there a fuse on the camera body or in one of the wires to the camera?
"No Signal" reports are often due to the fact that the camera has to send its signal through the metal of the trailer body, plus the metal of the truck body. As you know, metal is a shield for radio waves. Can you set the the camera on the roof of the TM temporarily, and see if that works? Distance is a factor as well - the camera signals are quite weak, and don't travel very far. When you tested it, how far apart were they? Was the camera powered through the license plate light, or somewhere else? Was the receiver/display mounted at the same place in the truck that it is now?
Finally, can you tell us the make and model of the camera setup? Perhaps someone on the Forum has experience with it.
