Dual backup cameras, will this work?

I want to add dual backup cameras to my truck, 1 for the truck and 1 for the back of my travel trailer. My headunit only has 1 input though.

I plan to connect both cameras to the head unit by using an RCA piggyback cable. My plan is to only power up 1 camera at a time. Will this work?

Also I need a toggle/rocker switch with 3 positions: Off, On1, On2. What is the correct name ie. poles / throw etc.

I was planning on staying to rca, would I gain anthing by running BNC or downgrade the signal by running Coax?
