A few ideas....

I would like to see some changes in the following...

1. Relocate the porch light away from the door, how about more towards the center of the patio awning. The light above the door does not light the entire patio awning space. Also it brings the bugs right to the door just waiting to enter the coach when someone opens the door.

2. Place a electric outlet in the watercloset. This would allow for a small nite light instead of using the "bright" 12V light overhead. Also would allow for a Glade Plug in air freshner to keep the watercloset smelling fresh 24/7.

3. Install a light at the inside entry step as well as the stairs going into the bedroom. (Just like you did in the Cambridge)

4. Add a small light under the entry door to light up the entry stairs at night. Would help keep the bugs away and would not be bright as the porch light or scare lights would be. (remember the neighbors in the rv park)

5. Install an electric outlet in the basement.

6. Add a Fullbody paint job to your options list.

Those may all be good ideas but I would like to see those kind of things and a few others added to the list of options so we aren't paying for stuff that we don't need and rarely ever use.

Case in point are all the 12 volt lights in the ceiling. My rig has 1 single 12V in the John, 3 double 12V in the bedroom/bath area and 7 double 12V in the kitchen/living area. There are also 2 12V, I guess the are reading lights, over the head of the bed. In the kitchen/living area we also have 5 110V overhead lights. This is a huge waste as we very rarely use most of them but I had to pay for everyone of them.

1. As far as the porch light I want it just where it is. This comes in handy when someone comes knockin after dark. I wanna see who's there before opening the dooor.
2. Maybe but I probably wouldn't use it.
3. Questionable.
4. Absolutely needed.
5. In all the outside compartments
6. YES, YES, YES

Just went through a couple Everests at the fair this weekend and one of them had little lights on each side of the inside entry step.

I agree with your list.
I added an outlet in the bathroom, just tie into the one on the other side of the wall, be careful, there is a plastic pipe vent there. I use a Green small nightlight.
The light in the inside step- I used a license plate light, shines on the stair well, tied to Two Amber clearance lights for the step.
I installed a switch on the metal panel in the hall-steps area.

We have a battery operated light on the wall in the water closet. It was 7 bucks at Walmart (hardware dept). Push to turn on and off. It has a dial to set automatic turnoff at up to five minutes or to shut off the auto turnoff. Just a workaround but works well.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!

On the 3400 we have a motion activated night light that we plug into the outlet at the Bedroom stairs. It only comes on when you approach the steps then goes off after a predetermined time (I have never timed it). If I remember right we found those motion detector night lights at a Big Lot store.
I would second the idea a amber light under the outside stairs. I have tripped over them a couple of times.
Also I would like to see an electrical outlet lower than the one on the main living room slide. I don't like that cord hanging down - move that sucker up maybe in front of the steps toward the basement storage area.
