All you need is a 3 amp ATC fuse. You just insert it into the top two slots.

I agree. unnecessary ticky tacky but probably handy if you are so drunk you can't find your RV. but what if several people do it?

LOL ... yeah I can just see all these guys staggering around going door to door looking for THEIR trailer with all the running lights.

I think it is due to vanity myself. I just chuckle when I see it. But then again, I have not been in an RV park in over three years.

Y'all know I don't care for late night lights in a dark CG. But it seems to me. This guy was trying to be a little careing about the folks around him. The dim running lights would be MUCH better than leaving a stupid scare light on, and some better than leaving a amber porch light on.

Neat Idea I have seen people do it in a few parks. No big deal not alot of light being given off. No different then the awning lights people hang. Some in fact put out lights everywhere across the awning and down to the ground like it was christmas all year.

A 4-way flasher fits nicely in the #3 and #4 slots. Won't have any trouble at all finding your trailer now.

Yo can use a "flasher" in the circuit and be real popular in the campground

I have never looked for a lamp that is remotely activated with something like a key ring fob. However, I expect that one does exist. Set the lamp outside and trigger on the way home, on comes the beacon and home you go. Alternatively simply a receiver that you plug a light onto. The key fob activates the receiver and the receiver energizes the light.

I'd suggest also hooking in a siren into that circuit.
