Well guys, I guess I can make an informed decision now. I kinda felt that the kits were really junk or just an expense and not that great an improvement. Special thanks as always to Chris Bryant, Landyacht318 and Mexicowanderer, collectively you outperform my experience in this field. I know a lot about residential, office and traffic signal wiring and equipment but I've never worried about the technicalities of much to do with Motor Homes other than the house part.
For NinerBikes, sorry about leaving out the HID. I did learn about Xenon gas lamps as well as Xenon HID lamps, so I knew better than to just say Xenon.
It does seem at the moment that it is all going to be academic soon anyway. This evening we received an offer on our second home in Mammoth Lakes, CA and part of the proceeds will go toward buying a late model MH. We've looked at A's and C's in the two to three year old range and "I" have looked at DPs as far back as '08. We aren't paying cash but having a loan with a payment about $275/month. Our tax guy keeps saying we need the deductions, I keep saying I need the money in my pocket and the DW says, buy as new as possible so I don't have to find jury rigs for crumbling plastics and parts that are no longer available. So I guess I'll follow her advice and go newer used and have a loan to satisfy the tax guy. Everybody is happy that way.
Thanks again to all who replied.
