I never use the stove in my Westy when camping with the kids. The pony tail
hanging over the edge makes me nervous.
In preparation for solo camping mounted a
fixture over the stove area from a crashed 88
Westy I had. Also changed out to LEDs.

I do have LEDS over the rear seat in a updated festoon bulb fixture. Has
lights directed towards each side of the seat. Either or both sides can be
independently controlled.

In the rear shelf over the engine two flush mount LEDs light up the area
well. They required drilling two holes and the wiring comes out in the top.
I have them mounted close the outer edge of the shelf so the wires are
protected by a thin plastic strip.
I still haven't decided where to mount a switch in the rear so it's just
tucked up in the tray for now. A switch is also mounted in the panel behind
my drivers seat. Using a wiring set up similar to what you would find in
your home that turn a light on/off from two separate switches.

I am fortunate to have a mail order marine supply warehouse near by. They
have a huge clearance section to dig thru. Most of my stuff has been
purchased there.
