Hi Dennis and list,
I got Denni’s message first try. This would have been a great time to be in Florida. I’m dreaming of warmer weather trips.

While out I will set up the wiring for a light to go on the head banger cabinet so it can light up the engine area or be used by someone in bed. Light also has a usb port so very handy.

I think a handle there will make that safer. I can have a controlled descent. This is very helpful as when blind and stepping down I can use the handle to step gently in case of obstacle or uncertain ground. And for entering van I think it will make it easier to step in rather then crawl in as I tend to do now!
