Adding side turning lights

[Rich W.]

I’m working on this project right now. I installed the wiring and rocker switch yesterday and today will install the lights. I bought surface mount lights because I just cant bring myself to cut holes in the coach so they are smaller but quite bright so for now thats what I’ll use. If they aren’t effective enough I’ll re-think this.

So much want to do this. Newmar was going to charge $1700, but there were other prioritis. These should be standard.

My wiring took a few more hours than expected but materials (lights and switch) were around $25 - I had all the basics in stock. I had a couple blanks in my left-side console so that was a natural location and it looked like it would be easy, but I ended up almost entirely dissassembling the thing, top and base, to do the wiring. It wouldn’t do to drill into a wiring harness.

I used an on-off-on rocker switch and when I was done I realized it would be better to have two separate switches so I could have them both on at the same time for whatever reason. But its done and I’m not going back in. Here’s a pic of the switch - never got to the lights today.
