Trucks, the big rigs,  many have a floodlight to back up with.  That would
be pretty easy to install..You could get the power source at the rear of the
van and have a switch ( I have some switches right under the drivers seat in
my van..) to turn it on.  You could also flash the dorks who come up behind
with a 4-lamped SUV and all the brights still on.  I get flashed sometimes
by truckers...just a quick blink of their rear-pointing floodlight  wakes ME
up to the fact that I've forgotten to dim as I catch 'em up...  I'd wire it
into my extra camper battery so I could use it to light up the rear area
when I set up camp in the dark.
  Better put that on my "to do before I head south to drier climates"
list...Monsoon season has hit here in the Pacific Northwest..
