[A/S] 70s bedroom lights

Wilfred -

We have the joy of intermittent incandescent lights at the head of 
the beds of our '72 27-footer. They don't go on and off while we're 
parked, but every time we move the trailer they may or may not decide 
to turn on when the switch is thrown. Hasn't been enough of an issue 
to look at closely (yet), but if anyone has solved the problem a hint 
would be much appreciated.

If you're having problems with the large incandescent fixture 
surrounding the rear vent, we've had problems with the rotary 
switches on all those fixtures, so that's a place to start looking. 
We replaced the center fixture with a Fantastic fan (and are 
delighted with it), and put in a florescent fixture centered in the 
ceiling just in front of it (delighted with it, too, when it works, 
but it's got a bad case of the "intermittents").

We just had some major work done at Oasis in Tucson (frame 
reinforcing kit, new axles & brakes), and while there found that 
there's an Airstream upgrade kit for those center incandescent 
fixtures. Replaces the incandescents with florescent. Definitely a 
good thing for lowering electrical draw while dry camping.
