Dave,

I'd snake a run of 16GA wire forward to the kitchen light.

Very easy to get the wire there .... left side of the AC Cabinet (top) over
the wardrobe closet. You will have to drop the overhead "shelf deal",  the
kitchen light mounts to, in order to complete the run and wire it in.

Bada Bing ... Done Deal.

My 2 cents

Subject: wiring a dome light, in back of westy

Hey folks,

I would like to wire a simple, 2 cell dome light in the back of my 1986
Westy.

The light I bought, is a simple, low profile 2 bulb florescent, which has 2
leads (positive, white and negative, black).

I am wondering, where & what can I wire this light to, in the rear of my
van, so it is hot all the time. I am hoping to avoid having to wire all the
way to either of my batteries.

Any suggestions, diagrams or fotos would be great!

Thanks in advance,

dave :)
