RV outfitted with marine grade map light

I do not like driving my motorhome at night and go to great lengths to avoid it. However, sometimes it happens and during those times I'm grateful for good exterior lighting. Unfortunately our interior map reading lights leave something to be desired.

One time we were traveling at night and I asked Mrs. Professor to check the map. She had to get out of her seat and turn on the overhead light which wasn't aimed properly, so she had to get up again and aim it. When she was finished she had to stand up again to turn it off. I hesitated to ask her to look at the map again further down the road.

Lon and Christine Cross from Yorba Linda, California solved this problem by adding a map reading light next to the passenger seat. This light is from Hella Marine and you can find it here: Map Light.

I like this light because it's flexible and easily stores out of the way when not in use. I also like it because it can be used as a reading light as well. It doesn't cause glare off the front windshield like some overhead reading lights. The best quality is that it's handy and doesn't require contortionist moves to turn it on and off.It requires a 12 volt source for power and can be neatly attached for a visually appealing application.
