David, I did put our step light on its own switch. If you decide to do this you will have to find a hot power source behind the service panel(panel with all the light switches and Fantastic fan controls) to tie into to supply power to the switch. I did this by tying into the hot supply to the porch light and jumping over to the new switch. With the switch I used I also had to jump to a neutral supply since the switch is a lighted switch. I chose the lighted switch so I would have a visual indication inside the camper when the step light is on. I saw no need to connect to the porch light since when it's on you have no problem seeing the steps plus we hardly never use the porch light. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help. Tim
