I've got four warm-white LED striplights gummed up in the van: one over
the bench seat, one under the "spice rack," another atop the front edge
of the roof cutout -- forward of the poptop latch, and another atop the
forward edge of the upper deck. Each has its own controller so I can
adjust lighting as desired. But it would be swell to have a remote for them.
We don't sleep in the upstairs. Mrs Elliott and I are both of small
stature and fit fine down below.
