Exterior side lighting???

We have years of experience with TT's and FW's but are new to the Class A family. Today Hubby had to take the RV out to get new tires and left while it was still dark outside. He said that he couldn't see a thing down either side of the RV and couldn't tell how close he was to the ditch pulling out of the driveway and had some other issues until he got to where he was going. He said that he wants to put some kind of lighting on the outside that he could hook up that would shine down the side and onto the ground when needed.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what lighting did you use to solve this problem?

He also said that the backup lights are non existent also!

I told Hubs I'd go to the forum and ask for help! :)

I don't drive a class A, but have had to back in my little TT more than a few times after dark, and it's unnerving not being able to see.

Armchair attorneys on this site will cry foul of DOT regulations regarding lighting on a highway vehicle but I'm not scared. I installed a three off road LED floodlights on my trailer, connected to a remote control. Two shine back behind the trailer and light everything up back there like it was mid-afternoon. In the front, one more makes hooking and unhooking in the dark much easier.

I was considering installing two more under the trailer near the front, pointed back, so the tires, axle, plumbing, stairs, etc could be brightly lit if need be.
