Ed, are those LED lights recessed into the ceiling? How thick are they? I really hate the stupid florescent lights in my trailer and would gladly get rid of them for something else!
Mike
We installed direct fit LED 4 ft. tubes in our fixtures, no rewiring needed. FEIT Electric from Costco was the brand. Instant light and much brighter.
We are swapping out everything we can to LED.
The LED stuff continues to come down in price.
Those fixtures now being installed in all the high end trailers and coaches are about $110.00 each. very nice, but a little pricey.

Yeah be careful Ed I can't plug my trailer into my house without popping a breaker. Everything seems to work fine off of the generator,but not shore power.

Mike BeckThanks Ed, have a safe trip. I think there should be no problem putting that type of light in my ceiling.

Big SteveVery nice!! Dont ya just love it when a plan comes together...

1320raceryes, of that 32 feet, approximately 4'-6" is for the golf cart which leaves ~ 27'-6" of floor space for the dragster and door car.

B-rad2416If you haven't thought of it already, make sure you support the dragster under the seat or close to that just as if it was on the floor.
