I have an older Class C Midas and I want to turn our outside light/handle into a motion light that turns on and off automatiacally, does anyone know of any do it yourself kits I can buy to make this happen? has anyone done this type of modification? I have already place an order for some LED replacement bulbs to help keep the usage down. The RV parks in our driveway when not camping, and it would be usefull to have a motion light trigger when someone comes down the driveway, myself included.

suggestions?
