You could take the time and remove each one of those automotive type fuses in your converter/breaker/fuse box. I understand this would be time consuming and those fuses are a pain to remove and put but, but if you go through all of them, then at least you know the camera is NOT wired through the converter/breaker box. The Furrion camera is 12 volt DC. So, if you remove all the fuses and the camera is still active, you know the camera was wired directly to the camper house battery. Look at the battery and see if there is a single wire attached to one of the junction points coming off the positive side of the battery. Check the color scheme of the wire and if it's the same color as the wire on the camera, that is probably the wire. Then unhook that wire from the battery connection and see if the camera goes out. If it does, that line should have a fuse on it (automotive style - 12 volt) and may have an on-of rocker switch. More than likely, that switch will be in somewhere in the front bay near the battery on that same wire.

If that does not work, then I'm clueless.

If you find a fuse in the converter/breaker box, that kills the camera, then the camera has been wired into a light (probably) somewhere in the camper.

Furrion cameras are customarily wired so they are activated when the tow vehicle running lights are turned on. This is how they are factory installed and how pre wiring is done for those that are not installed. So, if someone installed the camera after market, they connected the original wire running directly to the battery.

One more possible clue? When you wired in the camera, was the camera wires attached to the trailer wires with a plug. Pre wired camera prep always comes with the female end plug that matches the Furrion camera. Those should be wired into the trailer running light.

If the wire connection was spliced, meaning the wire in the camper had no plug on the end, and you had to cut the male plug off the Furrion to splice it to the trailer wire, then that's a good indication the first back-up camera was installed by the previous owner and is wired directly to the battery.
