Lighting showcase
I thought it would nice to offer a thread idea for you hard working people out there to showcase your vintage, conversion, and modern lighting configurations. I have browsed the forums and have discovered innovative and creative lighting installs. This thread would be a opportunity for the members to post pictures of your trailer interior / exterior lighting configurations. It would provide a place to post your hard work and offer a place for others to get ideas. Any takers on the first post of pictures?

Marker Lights
Artstream - how'd you get your marker lights on w/o having 'em connected for towing? How did you wire to get 'em on with your exterior & awning lights? Always wanted to do that when camping as part of the lighting effect... been thinking of making a backlite "Airstream Classic" emblem for the back of my trailer...
In the pitch black of the night, a subtly lite Airstream is breath taking... a 50's sci-fi come to life... love the neon!

Along the same lines...
Was just thinking of the space station... and got an idea for a new module the shuttle could take up...
Those astronaughts circling the earth could probably use a good bite to eat up there. A big neon & flashing "Good Eats" sign on top of a 34' Classic could even be seen from earth with a good pair of binoculars... Heck, the soviets shuttle looks like a take-off from the Airstream anyway so they could even have a drive-thru... fly-thru... whatever. Little bit of caulk, change out the A/C, glue the flamingos to the side, seal up the Fantastic vent fans...
Damn... should of gone to work for NASA...

easy, i do it too.
jumper your running light pin to the 12volt supply pin on your umbilical cord.
add a fuse to the jumper if you like.

this page should cover all combinations Marksrv.com 7 way wiring diagram page
i would think a 20 amp fuse would work well.

A quick side bar; in place of the jumper wire we use a heavy duty turn signal flasher so our running lights flash on and off! Really annoys the neighbors!

My first light to post in a creative sense. I placed a 12 volt rope light up in the roof vent. Red mood light for me and the wife. LOL

New tail lights, center mushroom with license light, and that little thing is a 100 watt equivalent back up light. Move or be blinded.

This picture showed the can light and a light offered at vintage trailer supply. It has a constant on red light on the switch button and is pure led.

Michael, Your lights look great. I absolutely love neon, and know how delicate it can be; how do you keep it from being cracked or broken going down the road?

These lights are self-adhesive strip lights from LEDwholesalers.com; these are the 2700K lights, which are nice and warm. They're on sale periodically for about $45 for 16.4 feet. The overall strip draw about 2 amps, and produces about 1000 lumens.
Product code is 2058WW
