Have you added any? I have a couple of solar light but I have to remove them. Anything simple? Just looking. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

| I added a marine grade 2-LED light under the step. It is wired to a magnetic switch on the screen door and a "master" switch. The "master" switch has to be on and the LEDs light up only when the screen door opens. |

rawest, I added an RGB LED light strip under upper C channel and also under the lower C channel. They are dim able and can be any color. The switches are in the rear storage compartment. Got them on Ebay for $7 each, Get the waterproof type.  also have this landscape light I use, it's metal and plugs into the Zamp port and sticks to the magnet for the storage door. $11 at home depot & I used an extra zamp style plug that came with my battery charger.  While i was at it I put one in the storage compartment.  ------------- http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&title=slopod-180-mods-johnsue - SLOPODMODS John&Sue,SLO,CA 2016 180 HRE, 2013 F150 Eco Boost

As far as I can see, I do not have lights on the outside of my camper. So while it is parked in the driveway. So at night if I want to go out to the camper, it is very dark. I tried adding a solar, keeps falling off. ------------- The Higgins' Girls, Pearl, Zoey Marie & Riley Ann 2017 Rpod 179 |

There is a light switch next to the one for the bathroom, but not sure what the switch goes to. But no lights come on. ------------- The Higgins' Girls, Pearl, Zoey Marie & Riley Ann 2017 Rpod 179 |

The outdoor light on our 179 is just above the door. Perhaps your is just burned out? ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |
