You might want to read this post. After reception/antenna issues the number two issue raised is too low voltage on the light circuit. Its possible that is your problem, while on the dome light circuit the voltage is higher.

Check that the ground is good also. I have had issues with a backup sensor that I thought was a bad device, but it turned out to be a bad ground connection.

  Thank you, so I am thinking it could be three things by what has been said low voltage or the length of power cord causing interference or improper ground. I will keep at it and hopefully have it working have plenty of time now have been staying home because of the corona virus. I may end up having a wire from front dash directly to camera that will be more difficult but may be my only option. I wish the truck was a couple of years newer then it would of had the factory back up camera or it came with the camera option.

One thing that has kept me from going with a camera is just what you are experiencing. I am concerned about a wireless signal from the back of the RPod to the cab of the Frontier. Hard-wired would eliminate signal issues, but you would still need to make sure both power and ground are good.

Do you have one of those 12V battery boosters, either lead-acid or Lithium? You could connect the camera to that as a power supply and then see if you get a good signal at the display.  If so, then it would likely indicate that the power (either positive or negative/ground) connections are not right. If not, then it would be more indicative of a signal/reception problem. This is with the camera in the location you want, not in the TV's cab.
