Anybody take apart or replace an external front hitch light/ Mine on a 2015 Rpod 179- it was working intermittenly last year- switch getting progressively stiffer, this year switch is frozen- not working. Also- where can you get similar replacement light?  RoadToad------------- 2015 RP179 |

You can buy them on-line, it is a fairly common RV light. Not a FR exclusive. I have had issues with mine, when the RV is level, the AC drains right on top of that light. When I pulled the lens, the internals had rusted a bit. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |

In my opinion, it is a waste of money. My 2014 rusted out shortly after I bought it, seems to be a common event. The simplest 'fix' is to get a good quality headlamp, you can use it everywhere, and it is a better light. If you need better light than that, a big lantern works better.

A small bead of caulk should remedy that. ------------- Alan 2022 R-Pod 196 "RaptoRPod" 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Three cats |
