I'm using these currently.

Ideal for a range of uses from canopies and tailgates to tents and sheds, our best-selling 48cm camping light bar is comprised of high-quality materials and throws a strong 180 degree beam of light.

Nice build!

Quick question on the RSI cap, is there a way to secure the rear hatch if you are sleeping inside?

I've also heard the initially there were some issues with the push style latches freezing shut in cold weather due to moisture, have you run into this issue?

The current latch design only allows for locking outside of the cap. You could get a buddy to lock you in.

And my latches haven't frozen. But I also keep them lubricated, which likely helps...and I live in the south.

Haha, it's my "buddies" I'm worried about doing just that!

I really like the RSI cap, I'm sure I could figure a way to secure the hatch, just wish they had used a better latch design for those of us who want to sleep inside. Not necessarily a deal breaker, thanks for the info.

Anyone have a tip for an LED dimmer? I want to put too much light inside my canopy, but be able to turn it down.

Buy the kit I posted above, it has a dimmer built in.

And post this kind of stuff in general lighting forum, not my build page.

Power is good, no complaints here. Mpg’s are 9-11 around town and 11-14 on interstate In the configuration currently shown below.

Looks great! Are the lock covers a Smartcap option or something you found?

@St8ton did you have to use the HardKorr extension cable kit with the three way splitter to run all your SmartCap lights, or did you just plug one into the other? Also, does your one one dimmer switch dim all three lights, or do you have a dimmer attached to each one. Finally, have you tried putting multiple on-off-dimmer switches in your setup? I'm wondering if it is possible to be able to turn all three on from any of the SmartCap window locations.

No extension cables were used with the way I have them setup. Each one is linked to the next, one dimmer controls them all. I don't want multiple dimmers; I use one location to turn them on/off/dim.

Thanks for the additional info on them.
