Just a few pictures of some new items I got finished before the vintage camper rally next weekend in Brattleboro VT. Splurged on new wheels and baby moons from VTS. Also took on adding a light to my bargman grab handle -- I got the idea from someone here but can't remember who (thanks!)    |

Great work..... Please explain the process on the handle light! Thanks. I tapped into 12v for my h20 pump, ran the 2 wires under the camper, up through the cabinet, installed a toggle switch, and drilled a hole out to the back of the handle. An 1156 bulb socket fits the backside of my handle (with some adhesive). I used taillight lens repair tape to make a substitute for the lens that was probably (?) there originally. |

That look so great, capecharlie! I remember when you were picking that one up! All I can say is "Day--yum."
(That was Vikx who originally posted the photos of the lighted grab handle, on "Sundance" if I remember right.... Those grab handles had the cutouts in most of the models...they would accept a bulb base, and had a mount for a strap to hold it and ground (originally) through the handle mount...but the best wiring is the two-wire like you did.)

Also hook your running lights up to the same switch and your trailer is lit up like Christmas. Makes it a lot easier to find coming back from the pot luck...  |
