Not if the Rear Hatch Glass is heavily tinted, as is the case with my rig
and the curtains are drawn closed (most of the time on my rig as well).
OTOH, the center stoplight is mounted a bit to high to be effective,
methinks.

After riding a Honda GL1100 Interstate for a number of years, I have come
away with the notion that you can't have too much in the way of
tail/stop/turnlights to let the idiot on the cellphone behind you know what
you're about to do.  It may look hokey, but I kinda like the set up on this
rig and who knows, I may do something similar to mine.  In Southern
California trafiic, the Vanagon Tail/Stop/Turn configuration leaves a lot to
be desired at times.  In PA, it may be a different story.
