no backup lights

[rnielsen]

Hello, just wanted to know if anyone has had success in installing backup lights on a newer Flying Cloud? We have a 2013, 25ft FB Flying Cloud. We called the dealership and was told they don't have them.... We had a 25ft Safari that had backup lights. Totally dissapointed to find this out. Seems like a safety hazard. Any suggestions?

Not sure but I have a 2010 Classic that does have backup lights that I have never gone to the trouble to hook up. On the newer trailers the LED brake lights are bright enough to use for backing at night. I don't see it as a safety thing.

Our '74 Argosy had backup lights. Our '06 Safari doesn't.

Evidently there is no industry requirement on this. Seems that more recently they've only been on Classics -- and I have no idea about transitional years, etc. Backup lights?

Honestly -- dimming through rear-view mirrors or the side windows on my truck cap is so bad, I think I'd have to have rearward pointing floods to help to any degree. Currently I can back up at night only if I jump out and go back to scope it out about every 5-10 feet of progress. The better alternative is if there is snow on the ground. Honest. Contrast and visibility is so much better!

The backup lights on my Classic are really not bright enough to show you much anyway. Lets others know that your are backing, but that's it.

I guess I was spoiled with our 99 safari since I never seem to get to where we want tospend the night prior to sunset the old eyes aren't what they usedto be
