Any particular sort of light?  Does it run on its own batteries or the
van's?

I was looking at a $10 tent light at Target that attaches with magnets - two
strong magnets that you put inside and outside your tent.  It looked like it
might be useful in my van.  Right now I have a proper lamp clamped onto a
bit of hardware inside.  But my van has mostly been parked in driveways and
connected to the rest of the world with a power cord - though I got a
compact fluorescent bulb so that once I get a second battery rigged up the
light won't eat too much power.

Anyway, I was wondering what sort of light you attached.

My favorite mod: a light directly over the sliding door of my Westy, put
in by the previous owner. I'd have never thought to do it myself, but
now I couldn't live without it. It's great being able to open the
sliding door at night and immediately flick on a light without having to
reach across the van. It's a very useful mod that's also easy and cheap
- the best kind.
