Light up your clear plastic grab bar

[Leroy Eckert]

Rich,
When I took my handle off the coach I was suprised that it was not lighted. No
knock out or socket location. I tested my new light idea- works fine. I'm
going up this PM to put the handle back on the bus. Probably will not get it
wired today.
Since you owned a '90, I have a wierd step light problem. I have talked to Curt
about it and I cannot determine how the light system is supposed to work. My
step light switch is in the footwell. Depending on the position of the three
position footwell switch the footwell light is illuminated or the step light is
illuminated. I cannot get them both to turn on or off at the same time. One of
them is always illuminated.
Do you remember how your '90 worked. Switch positions and what happened when
the door is opened and closed?
I have a Royal conversion and have found many differences in wiring than other
Birds.

Leroy,

Have you pulled the grab handle out yet? I illuminated the one on
my '90 and the handle had a place where a standard 12VDC bulb would
fit. There was a "knockout" under the handle, on the side of the
coach that was made to hold a socket. Not necessary now to make a
hole big enough for the flush mount socket as your idea of an LED
would be better and would probably mount right into the grab handle
base without any drilling of the handle. I remember that it took
some doing to snake the wire down but I was able to connect it to
the step light switch overhead so the handle came on with the setp
lights.
