Really looks good. Now you need to change out the soap dish as well.

Looking good BTW.

Thanks I'm pretty happy with the fact that people slow down to look a her as they come down the street. I'll get a picture posted up tomorrow, I've done some pretty extensive looking myself but maybe I'll get lucky and someone will have one on here.

Very true along with a full fresh painting of the white on the front. Just need to finish repairing the grill and paint it now!

I bought my latest SunPower panels from https://www.sunpoweredyachts.com/. Called Lyall, nice small business in Hawaii that drop ships all over the US.

The mounting technique is all thanks to RV with Tito. https://youtu.be/hROYaqY83v4
Warning - you may end up binge watching all of the great RV DIY videos there ^! 😂👍👍

OK, I need help (again).

On our 2002 Bounder 33R, the overhead map light haven't ever really worked (since we purchased it 5 years ago).

The lights I am talking about are on each side of the rear view camers and in front of the driver/passenger fans on the overhead cabinetry. These are a push button on/off set of map lights for driver/passenger. I assume these are powered once the ignition switch is on, as the camera and fans also don't get power until the switch is on/engine running....

The lights I have do not work... and the white and black wires connecting them do not get 12V any time switch on/off, engine running. etc.

I looked every place/forum that I can to try and figure out where these wires are coming from, but cannot find anything showing them at all. Additionally, I have used my volt meter and checked every fuse I can find (main panels in the bedroom, main distribution in the engine bay, and secondary panel in the driver footwell area) and I cannot find any fuse that isn't showing continuity.

I initially thought it was the lights themselves until I couldn't get power... I have new replacements (leds) and want to use them. I could run new wiring but would rather use what is already there.

Anyone have ANY idea on what I have missed, or have a wiring diagram to show where these go (or where some additional dastardly placed fuse might be that I haven't tested)?

ANY and all help is appreciated... then this will go on here as a NEW thing I have done to my old RV!

Try turning the dash dimmer switch all the way up.

We made a storage bed out of bookshelves. Plywood is cut and ready to be installed. This thing is sturdy as h%ck.

I will try that tomorrow... I would think that the lights would have power without the dimmer turned all the way up... given that they have an on/off button... but I am willing to try anything at this point. Thanks

I upgraded my fluorescent fixtures which dated my rig to LED upscale fixtures. inexpensive and easy to do. Made a huge, huge difference. ~$1,000

Now I am adding a battery watering system to add water to my golf cart batteries without getting acid in my eyes. cheap and saves damaging/cost batteries. ~$150

sprayed 3% hydrogen peroxide on a few dark ceiling (carpet) stains and watched them disappear. there are some moderate-mild stains left to do and the ceiling will be brite’n’shiny.

A cable tracer might be a good purchase. They are fairly cheap at some of the discount stores like Harbor Freight.

Have you checked the ground connections?
