I'm making my own LED tail lights out of '65 Impala and '60 El Camino lights. I'll post pictures of my creation when I'm a little farther along on that project. Here are some pictures from today...

Sorry couldn't resist?? :twisted:

The double windows seem to fit into the lines of the camper better than one single one would have. Matches the character of your build well, I think. :thumbsup:

Great idea Brian. Which will leave me with about 40 still. lol. Speaking of old cars, here's a picture for you. I really need to get a collector on that old craftsman router!

Thanks Dale. To get an idea of the size of that rear end, those windows are just under 4' long.

That's just it...I want it to maintain the cozy-ness. My brother has a very comfortable, spacious fifth-wheel. But that's just not my style. There's just something about my cozy little camper that I really like...
