Mike does this look like the right lights?

Low lighting inside
I'm pretty sure you got it, either way those should work. I couldn't find my old paperwork from JCWhitney to give you guys the model number. I did order the lengths to place two in the front where the wiring was placed behind the center pillar and the lights were placed outward from there. In other words two for the front and one for the back. The back shelf is only on half of the trailer in the 23ss. If you can't make it out from the pictures I bought the clear ones they give a nice glow and just enough light to see at night.

Jayco has a pretty neat net that covers there areas. We keep towels and other light, bulky things up there. When we're folded up the pillows fit up there as well. I thik that one protruding item was part of a bag of diapers - those and the baby wipes stay up there too

Thank you everyone for sharing & keep those posts coming!

I love seeing how others setup their camper and I love love love the pics!

Mike those lights are wayyyy cool... I think my hubby just got himself assigned to a new project!

I also really like the idea of having a railing across each shelf. That would help a lot in keeping things secure. Our shelves are open air all the way across so there's not much to hold anything.

Seeing the pictures, especially Ranger431's sunny summer picture, just makes me want to go camping even more! Can't you just see yourself lying on that bunk in the sun with a good book?? And, it looks like it's lunchtime too~ woohoo!

We also use them for storing all of our blankets (we roll them so they fit perfectly), umbrellas, magazines & books, dog toys (all of these are in small shoe box totes), games and whatever else we can fit in it. Once we arrive at the campsite everything comes down so the space still looks neat and tidy. Stuff like the umbrella, games & magazine we store in the back one so it's not seen when you walk in the door.
