D+D I wanted something that doesn't stick out to far.

marwayne I like your back up lights but that is to difficult for me I want something easier. I will most likely buy two individual lights and mount them. Your work is to advanced for me, but it is a great idea for someone with the time and materials. David

It's mainly meant for backing up, but if you need the light to set up, just step on the emergency brake turn the key to acc and put the TV in reverse, or use a jumper on your bargman plug.

but I didn't want lights to shine __ straight back, so I angled the groves 8-16 and 24 degrees put in the light strips and sealed them with silicone. The whole strip uses 24 watts.
As always job well done, like the lights angled down so as not to blind others.

So is the function purely as a back up light and aid to help setup camp in the dark or.....?

I am the source of the lightbar,I used a strip of plexiglass 64" long 2 3/4" wide and 3'8 thick. Then I cut three groves 5/16"
into it, but I didn't want lights to shine straight back, so I angled the groves 8-16 and 24 degrees put in the light strips and sealed them with silicone. The whole strip uses 24 watts.

No it doesn't, the wire is caped off up front under the trailer.

Great light!! Just curious, but was there a continuous wire from the Bargman plug to the rear of the pod? Mine is in storage or I would go out and look. I did notive that the backup lights of my TV are wired into the TVs Bargman receptacle. That surprised me.
