I have finally started my hatch and have finished the cabinetry and tray ceiling with lights inside. The lights are rope lights and are on a remote control. The LCD screen is 22". The stereo is a DVD player as well. Enjoy! Thanks.

That tray ceiling is pretty nice looking. From what I can see, craftsmanship is first rate. Keep up the great work!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words! It has really been fun to work on. I can only do it for a couple hours at night, but it is a great release and I can't wait until it is campable. Weather is starting to warm up (78 on Friday!).

They are 12v rope lights. I got them from 1000bulbs.com. A 150 spool was $65. I needed about 30 ft and that was just about as expensive as the roll I bought so I am planning a few more projects with the leftover lights. I don't have 110 wired at all. I will most likely take an extension cord with me if I ever think I will need it. I may add AC later, but I will camp in it for awhile before I start adding things. Thanks.
