40 bucks for a decent dinner for 2?
wow.
fries included I assume :)
btw, the little glove box area map light is quite nice, but many I have seen (including my own) have had the plastic on/off knob broken off. It must get hit by passenger knee or something.

> Scott, $40 on Bus Depot. I guess that might be ok for someone with money to burn, but here in Oklahomastan I can take my wife for a celebratory dinner for that. Well, not a big deal celebratory dinner, but better than an ordinary night out. Not having ever had this lamp in the camper, I really don't miss it. I just found out it exists, as a matter of fact. mcneely

I can get the bulb from the online vendors, but they want big bucks for the lamp itself. This is the lamp that is above and to the left of the glove box, rectangular in shape, snaps into the dash.

I'd like to fill the opening with a lamp, but if I have to pay what the vendors want, I'll just push the wire back in and forget it.
