I have 2 flood lights on my camper, on both East and West side of the camper that is enough to light up a foot ball field. It's TOO bright for ambient "mood" setting (romantic) camping..

My lights had regular bulbs in them which I changed out to a more reasonable blinding spot. :W But i still have respect for my neighbors and do not keep them lit up at night.

How are you able to always have the lights on the East and West side of the trailer? Do you never travel East or West?!!!! Is the trailer always parked with the front facing North or South?!!!

"East" and "West" (side of the camper), refers to the sides of the camper opposed to the front and back ends. Terms are often referred to "East" and "West" (sides) when leveling the camper, opposed to "North" and "South" (ends)

For what it's worth, I think these lights are called "scare lights". Add the 2 front lights (on the front - tongue) side, and my white "scare lights" are bright enough to annoy even the most docile camper! The nice thing is, if we get an annoying camper on our back side (not the door side), and they leave their awning lights on all night, I can flip on that scare light and flood them out! I've never done that, but I've thought about it many times.

North - front of camper
South - end of camper
West - door side of camper
East - non-door side of camper

Edit: Now ... if you are in a truck camper, I think the East-west direction still applies, but not sure about North and South since the back of the truck camper is actually the front (door) and the front is actually the back???? and very few truck campers have doors on the side? So does that make the sides "east and west" or North and South?
