- AcampingwewillgExplorer III have looked those light bars's and think I will add one. I did add a couple of driving lights which helps quite a bit but you can never have enough light when it's pitch black outside driving down the road. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have one that can be a "spot light" or "flood light" with remote and while I don't advocate this, it's amazing how much light you can throw down a dark lonesome hi-way when you are thinking critters might be darting out in front of you. (did I mention, no traffic coming in the opposite direction).
yes what I use to do but now have this and works 300% better

- Kayteg1Explorer IIJust to add more to my hunting remark earlier.
Off the road hunting is illegal everywhere.
I made the comment as I remember the issue getting big publicity about a decade ago when those 1 + million candles flashlight come on the market.
Don't ask me, but articles said that strong light "freezes" the deer and those flashlights become tool of choice for poachers.
As the result, in deer counties when LEO spotted such flashlight in your vehicle, they immediately ask if they can do a search.
Meaning such lights might have less desirable effects than you might appreciate.
They are illegal to use on paved road driving anyway. - wallynmExplorerwe ordered ours with one as our previous two had them. when raining the light on the roof above and behind you provides better vision. on rural two lane roads the roof mounted spot light provides more light farther down the road. always turn it off when we see approaching car lights.
- the_bear_IIExplorerEasy to install $260.00 light and the dealer can charge $500. It's economics...
- Mile_HighExplorerI looked at a 2013 Allegro Bus that had one - kind of cool. Had a joystick to drive it.
The use is probably the same for one on a boat - maneuvering. - pigman1ExplorerI use mine all the time. We often travel at night in remote areas of the lower 48, Canada and Alaska. It comes in handy for picking a boondock spot, or deciding if we want to turn into a dark turnoff, or view a potential boondock site. Also helps when maneuvering in a tight CG.

Too many drivers used them for off-road deer hunting.
Even if you'd like to use one of them entering the campground, you don't want to do it having neighbors for privacy reasons.
Am I the only person that have ever deer hunted out of a motor home?
Actually, my MH storage bay on my garage overlooks my acreage. We have too many deer. I live in the country and the motor home was a great place to sit on a cold morning watching for the deer. I pulled the curtain back a little, propped the rifle up outside, and waited. - rgatijnet1Explorer III

I've got a two piece light and remote spotlight myself. haven't used it to spot deer yet.;)

Down in Florida a spotlight is legal to use to kill the wild hogs. Basically it is open season on them at any time of year, day or night. I think Texas and some other states also have zero restrictions on hog hunting so perhaps spotlights may make a comeback for RV/hunters. :B
