Dave, I'd snake a run of 16GA wire forward to the kitchen light. Very easy to get the wire there .... left side of the AC Cabinet (top) over the wardrobe closet. You will have to drop the overhead "shelf deal", the kitchen light mounts to, in order to complete the run and wire it in. Bada Bing ... Done Deal.

The light I bought, is a simple, low profile 2 bulb florescent, which has 2 leads (positive, white and negative, black). I am wondering, where & what can I wire this light to, in the rear of my van, so it is hot all the time. I am hoping to avoid having to wire all the way to either of my batteries. Any suggestions, diagrams or fotos would be great! Thanks in advance, dave :) 1986 Westy 101k |
