I've actually got one from an old Coleman camper and that was my next question.  Not sure where I should wire it into the system, though.  Can I also use it to top off my batteries when I'm plugged into 110????

pRod,

Rather than dual voltage lights ... how about a small 110v to 12v converter
wired into your 110v / 12v system.

This way when you are plugged into 110v all your 12 v stuff will be good to
go.

Works great for me.
