I've got four warm-white LED striplights gummed up in the van: one over the bench seat, one under the "spice rack," another atop the front edge of the roof cutout -- forward of the poptop latch, and another atop the forward edge of the upper deck. Each has its own controller so I can adjust lighting as desired. But it would be swell to have a remote for them. We don't sleep in the upstairs. Mrs Elliott and I are both of small stature and fit fine down below. -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott 1984 Westfalia, auto trans, Bend, Ore.
