We can easily spend more, but Steph and I usually consider it a win if we keep dinner for two under $20, plus tip. Until recently it was $20 including tip!

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 >>> >>> ---- Scott Daniel - Turbovans <scottdaniel@turbovans.com> wrote: >>>> hey all right .. >>>> year and model is stated ! >>>> >>>> how much do vendors want for this lamp assembly - something like 45 bucks ? >>>> I think up to 25 is reasonable. >>>> >>>> They're seldom needed, but when you do need one....there's only one per

I can get the bulb from the online vendors, but they want big bucks for the lamp itself.

So now I know the spot for the lamp is there, and I have the wire and plug hanging out. 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. >>>>> >>>>> mcneely >>>>> >>>>> -- >>>>> David McNeely >>>>> >>>> >>> >>> -- >>> David McNeely >> > > -- > David McNeely
