Added door exit / puddle lights to Tiffin Wayfarer
Love how on Sprinter vans when you open the cab doors a light at the bottom of the door shines down onto your step and the ground? Well these exit lights (aka puddle lights) don't come with the Sprinter 3500HD cab chassis used by RV manufacturers.
It also appears the wiring harnesses and connectors on the 3500HD chassis does differ from the van's behind the door panels. No joy hitting the easy button to install and connect up door exit / puddle lights to existing modules or wiring.
I added them anyways. I purchased the two Mercedes door exit lights from a MB Sprinter dealer and then had to run my own power. I ended up taking power from my center roof console courtesy lamps by soldering some feeder wires to its circuit board where the light bulbs make contact. Then I had fun fishing all that wire to bottom of both doors. Good news is my Class C Tiffin Wayfarer now has automatic door exit / puddle lamps just like the vans and class Bs. Yay!
Best,
