I like it, a light in all compartments would be welcome.

I purchased extra led strips from newmar and added them to all the bays, including along the top in the water bay.
The standard plastic housing for a single bulb was not enough light for the water bay, generator, or engine compartment. I powered the Led strips from the original light fixture in each bay.

Yes. I didnt realize at the time the metal clips were not included. I don't recall the price, but I am sure Amazon would be cheaper by 50%.

Harbor Freight's version of the Flip Light. $2.99 this weekend at the Parking Lot Sale. I bought 10 of them, for the basements and closets.
They come with both magnets and hook and loop for mounting.
