Tiffin side camera lights?
Does the Tiffin coach have lights for the side mirror cameras?

There are "Road Lights" on each side of the coach about mid-ship. I always thought they were for light while setting up/tearing down and wondered why they call them "Road Lights". I very rarely drive at night and never turned them on so not sure how much good they would do at night while driving.

No, there are no lights on the side cameras as that would shine white light into the eyes of other drivers.
The Road Light is actually a work light high up on the driver's side of the coach above the wet bay. The Docking Lights above each wheel can only be activated when the engine is running and the transmission is in reverse, at least on our coach it's that way.

As others have said…No there aren’t, but I am building out a set of cameras that have IR and I have IR Emitters that light up the Left, Right and Rear of the coach. It’s a Winter project that I’m working on to be ready for some long-runs this year.
You can send me a PM with your email and I’ll show you what I finish up with…

As always Dan, thanks for clarifying the use of those lights. The ones above the wet bay are logical, the others I forgot were actually called docking lights and it's logical they only work in reverse "for docking".

Are they activated by putting xmsn in reverse? I haven't found a switch for them in my rig 2011 Phaeton 40 QTH.

There should be a switch on the dash for Docking Lights, but they may not operate unless the ignition is on and it's in reverse.

The switch was there all along in a line numbering about 7 or 8. I did have two 893 bulbs blown but I had some spares to wire in. All 4 docking lights now functional.
Now if I could figure out why the passenger floor cover switch won't work.
