Howdy from Jackson Hole!

 

My 2017 Fleet has flat LED strips with switches, 1.25" X 20". At the end something looks kinda like a mini-receptacle for a wire ganging lights together. I'd like to add another bar over one side of the bed that is currently too dark for reading. No, I'm not going to rip the ceiling apart.

 

Anybody know where I can get a compatable LED strip light?

 

Many thankx!

I used eShine products on my Puma build.  4 of their longest strips.  You could run the wire behind the cloth ceiling cover, carefully.

 

Amazon.com : eshine

I have supplemented my lights with AA battery powered stick on circular 'tap on' lights on the front and back roof push boards...better light temp and non-glaring...'16 Hawk...

Both very helpful ideas. Keep'em coming! Many thankx!

Hey Vic, the EShine website has a short 6" connector that would be very doable without tucking it in. However, they state only their EShine products work with eachother, and their connectors appear heavier duty than what FWC is using. 

 

Anybody know what brand of LED strips FWC uses?

Wallowa, 

 

Good placement idea RE pushboard mount of round battery lights, but 1) I hate using batteries except when unavoidable. 2) I doubt the light would be bright enuff for my GF to read by.

 

FWIW, I keep a round battery light unmounted in one of my 2 storage cabinets. Because: 1) I can tap it on easily and move it around as needed. 2) The light is so dim, I'm not tempted to use it as a flashlight. IE, it's always there & can't be lost.

Are the colors turning at Oxbow Bend yet?  I heard there was snow on the Tetons.

[MountainSufi]

Yes, PVStoy. We've had hard frosts & aspens are at their peak. Around the Oxbow Bend area there are a few aspen stands with trees that get a coral (instead of yellow) color.

 

Snow is encroaching high on the Tetons. I'm grateful for the insulation pack I purchased from our local FWC dealer. Best $800 I ever spent.

Actually you can get enough lumens to read by with a tap on light; and you can place it at either end of the board where you heads are when sleeping or sitting below....batteries seem to last forever...plus they are cheap and easy to install...

Thanks for the update.  With a late start being able to go out this year we are not going to make it that far north.
