Back of Garage Lights

We just competed our first extended trip to Bristol. Because of the rain spent plenty of time inside. We had the back bed pinned up so we could use the rear bench / table. I noticed that it was pretty dark in the back since the bed partially blocked the overhead lights. Has anyone done a mod to add light back there? Any info would be helpful.

I also noticed on our 3605 the outside LED lights stop at the main awning. I would like to extend them to the back awning as well. Has anyone done this? Any info again would be helpful.
-Jeff

Thanks for the help, I thought that was tackled by someone. Has anyone put any LEDs on the awning over the side rear entry door?

Jeff, my 2015 3605 has the led lights on the awning in the back. Is is controlled by the light switch above the "washer/dryer hookups." Just wanted to make sure you were noticing it in the off chance it was there.

Hi KeithE.


Do you have the happijack bed in back? I only have 2 switches behind the dryer. One controls the interior light and the other controls the happijack on mine. I looked closely at the awning and I don't even have the LED's under it.

Jeff,

It sounds like maybe yours didn't come with it. :/ On mine, the switch that controls the interior lights is a double switch and one of them controls the LEDs for the rear awning.

Must have been an option that I didn't get.

Can you share where you got the lights? I use the garage as my office to work out of. Having a set of lights like you installed would really improve things on cloudy days or at night.

Thanks
