Before I left for our recent 6,000 mile Summer road trip I installed some
of the Hella flexible stalk lights referred to previously in this thread.
 I was able to purchase them through a local FLAPS, VIP Auto Parts, via
special order, order today, pick up at store tomorrow!

I installed two 7" stalk lights ($31/each) on the metal panel at the
front bottom of the upper berth where they can be used by the rear seat
passengers while seated, and by the lower berth occupants while reading
before "lights out".  I also installed using an aluminum plate an 18"
stalk light ($42) just aft of the pop top support bars where they attach
to the bodywork above the sink.  This light can be used to illuminate the
lower kitchen area, great for seeing in the fridge or cabinets at night,
or rotated upward to allow the driver's side upper berth occupant to read
at night.  I plan to install another long stalk model on the passenger
side as well.

We are very pleased with this setup which performed very well on our trip.
