Joe-- One answer would be pulling dome lights out of autos at a wrecking yard. Another choice is RV lighting. Campers Choice 1-800-833-6713 will send you a catalogue which includes 12V light fixtures including one decorative ceiling light my mom would put in her living room (if she had a 12V system). There are less decorative lights as well. And I assume any RV or boat store should have options. Campers World is another catalogue option for RV lighting. They have an 800 number and are in Littleton or maybe Wheatridge, CO near Denver. And JC Whitney in LaSalle, IL has an RV catalogue that I think has lighting options 312-431-6102. For those who need camping options, I use a Coleman fluorescent lantern in the bus. It runs on 4 or 6 "D" cell batteries. I only use this type inside, because outside the bus this particular latern fills up with bugs in about 3 seconds. Then, you don't want to bring it back inside. Usual disclaimers. But I did buy one of those blue "D" cell battery powered fans from Campers World to circulate cold air inside my refrigerator. And that thing works like a charm. Hope this helps Jeff 83.5 Westy
