I'll get a Night Time shot later. For now, a sigh of relief before assembling the interior sidewalls and getting on with the cabinets, roof vent & canvas. Soooo close...

Victory! PM Lights has a great kit. $50/side. I simply traced and rounded the sides. Vertical fitment was PERFECT! I guess I'll Dicor these into place, as there seems to be no real good way to fasten them. I will pull them out next Summer (2021) to repaint the exterior. I bought...

Thats what I needed, thanks bud!!!

For my sanity down the road, I created a thread about my lighting needs. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/trailer-light-question-74-coleman.215046/

I've got a thred in here covering my project: "1974 Coleman Pop Up - Complete Gut Job" Ive run into a lighting issue. Rear Assembly is destroyed and not replaceable. Obsolete. The 45 yr old plastic housing shattered when I tried to jiggle it out. I'd like to add a new, more common...

Thanks for the help, I looked your parts up. Then GENTLY tapped on a rivet and it shattered. I think now I will cover the hole with a 3-1/8" × 8" strip of aluminum sheet, Dicor all that in and install a more modern LED light assembly. Something I can actually find outside of the Coleman...

So far, this has been the worst part. hands down. Which isnt too bad, actually. ?

I found that part....then this happened... It just crumbled. So, the existing hole needs to be covered. The hole itself is 6" wide by 3-1/8" high. I wouldnt mind at all, but it's recessed in. bigger lights wont sit flush, and I'll get leaks. I do have a bunch of 1/8" ply lying...

Thanks, Just saw this a tad late. As you can probably tell, im getting my bitt kicked by 45 yr old plastic and rivets right now, but am still looking onto power requirements. We wont need much, and will use the camper very soon, which will give us opportunity to figure out what we want and...

The exact thing I need! https://www.instructables.com/id/Pop-up-Camper-Tail-Lights-Rebuild/

To clarify, the tail lights did work BEFORE I rewired the 4-pin. They do work now, but they only work when jiggled. Maybe I can just clean them and try to re-install with LED bulbs. I have a feeling Im going to break something old in the process. Unobtanium? Here's the socket...

Wired in the 4 pin adapter. Twice. Got in a rush and bought the VEHICLE end, not the trailer end...UGH... Now the side markers all work. And my tails do not. Coleman didnt do the Average Joe any favors when it comes to repairs down the road. In order to get the tail light housings...

One of the side out beds needs to be addressed before buttoning things up. Im guessing my brother or I probably did some jumping on this long ago and cracked the plywood. It's broken all the way through. Since the plywood is in good shape and larger than a normal sheet (annnd Im not a...

In order to get these lights to work, I had to actually create a grounding circuit (OEK was a hot wire only, the light grounded itself to the mounting rivets) which I pulled the white wire off of this kit & ran it alongside the brown Hot Wire for the exterior lights. Good wraps, heat shrink...

I had some scrap white formica plywood lying around. Figured I'd try to use it to keep costs down. I saved the old countertop and traced it onto the new formica. I may wind up going with wood, not sure how I feel about this. it may look better when I cut a T-slot into the side and add...

Finished painting cabinets. 2 cans primer 2 cans semi gloss black 3 cans sating tan 1 can satin clear

I'm leaning closer to this option more and more as I go...this is the norm for us, 7 days and 5 bags of ice (exaggeration). LOL Mostly weekends, but again, this PopUp might enable us to stay out longer. I Stayed in YNP for 8 days in a tent. Batteries w/out solar just might be the way...
