Wiring for outside Floodlights...

I would like to install two exterior floodlights or spot (type) lights with separate switches located inside my Hawk. Presently, I have a porch and awning light which was installed when I bought my camper last year. I also have two (group 24) aux. batteries, 3-way (small) frig., water heater and furnace and I run LED lights inside and out. I'm not real electrically talented, so has anyone hooked up floodlights w/switches. Any info/pictures/wire diagram would be much appreciated. Thanks

Where are the light switches you have now? inside or outside on the light? do you want cargo flood lights? post a pic (back of your rig). Heres a picture of a flip pac and a camper. the left light is back-up and the right is cargo flood. You will have to drill into the camper to run the wiring. let me know if I'm helping??

The only two outside lights I have are the amber porch light and amber awning light, both with switches on the fixture. Nothing inside to turn on or off...and this is what I am trying to accomplish. Now, after reading some threads on this site (thanks to all) I got an idea that possibly I could use the stock (factory) porch and awning lights, add another of the same type of light on the drivers side and switch to a clear lens. Can I wire these lights with an inside switch?

Hi Stan,
My hawk is a 2012. I would like to wire (separate) inside switches to my porch and awning lights. Also, I would like to add the same type/style of light on the drivers side of my camper and again with a inside switch. Someone on this site or the other (WTW) did something like this. Factory outside lights where he wired switches inside the camper. With the outside light switch in the "on" position, he could turn his camper lights on and off from inside. I like this idea. Preferably, the switches could be located near the bunk, so I can reach them while in bed....security issues and the need to see outside without getting up and actually going outside.

Switch's are on the outside lights. I want to add interior switch's to control the on/off. Also I would like to add another (3rd) light on drivers side and yes, with an inside switch. Just not sure about the wiring and where to splice into??
