Default How to mount backup camera below running lights

I bought a wireless backup camera for my "new-to-me" 2720QB and want to install it on the back of the camper just under the middle running light. It will be wired to the running light. What is the best way to do this. I'm thinking about gluing a small piece of plywood to the shell with PL400 then screwing the camera to it. Or is it OK to screw it directly into the shell and applying silicone sealant around it?Click image for larger version

For the love of God DON’T USE SILICONE! It doesn’t work and it’s a beast to remove when you realize you need to redo it. Use Dicor non-sag non-self-leveling lap sealant on a vertical surface. Yeah you can screw it right into the aluminum.

I appreciate strong warnings [emoji4].

I never heard of that product before but I googled it and it looks great. I'll definitely use it and am glad to know it's safe to screw into the shell.
