My '72 Argosy 22 has no exterior light near the entry door. I was thinking a first project might be to add one. Does anyone know what, where, how? I am not married to originality so something new might be fine with me.

I'll appreciate any input.
Liz and I have been thinking the same thing. Have you looked at the lights available at Camping World? They had a couple of good looking candidates.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Are you talking "Scare" light or "Over the Door" light? For scare lights - VTS has them and so do most truck stops - I put one in on my Caravel - no problem. Over the door light presents some issues with panel removal to have access to pull wires and add a switch. Airstream should still carry them in the modern varient and that should mount no problem to your trailer.
There are two on the Camping World site, an inexpensive "running light" looking thing (that would work) and a 500W recessed unit. But not really fond of either.
I do not know what a scare light is, although that 500W unit scares me just thinking about it. I do not want an over the door light, I'm thinking more next to the door, near the lock/handle.
A scare light is a white or amber light used as a porch light, usually mounted on the side panel next to the door.. I don't know where exactly the name came from.
Here is a link to a source. If you look further, there are LED models that are much better on power usage and heat (they won't melt the lense).
We are looking at the same problem with our 1999 Excella. There's a step light but it doesn't do much! It's a DC light ... is there a replacement unit that is DC but would be quite a bit brighter??

I camped for the first time in a "new to me" Argosy 26' 1977 this past weekend. I noticed several places that were deficient in lighting. I do have a factory installed over the door light, but it was very dim. I'll be looking to install additional outdoor lighting as well.
I shop at a truck/freight trailer repair facility. The prices are reasonable and they are closer than a camping center to me. They have a good selection of trailer, truck, and speciality LED lights as well.
