What are you guys doing for interior (dome) lights? I did a search but only came up with stuff about reading lights. Please tell me what you like and dont like about what you used. Thanks.

I found some close-outs at Boaters World. They use 12V 10W xenon bulbs. The light level is good, not too bright, and the heat doesn't seem to get much past the lens cover (even without any of the ventilation sources going). They didn't have switches, but I had already planned to put my switches on the walls. I think they cost $12 apiece on closeout.

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Ramp, google trailer parts...most of those folks will have lights for ya...also checkout Sailor Sam and Defender Marine and look for "chart lights"...also Grant at L'il Bear, RW Johnson, Teardrop Fix-It Shop, and So-Cal teardops...they have some pretty good choices as well...JC Whintney, Wal-Mart, local auto parts places are also places to check...lotssa places with lights, including the low voltage section of the big box stores

...we used a twin bulb euro style swivell light...we though we would haveta add a dome light for more illumination but found it unnecessary.....
