    The same shit everyone else has.
    Lookin for some inspirations.

    Kickin around the idea of doing some sort of high mounted set of auxiliary back up lights off my camper shell.

    I’ve been searching around and have seen some ideas. Everything I see is usually mounted off a rack.

    I have a set of load bars on my camper shell, but I also have a small 4’x6’ awning that hangs off the back over the tailgate. Mounting anything off the rack is kinda pointless since the awning would block the light when it’s on the rack.

    Any ideas short of drilling into the shell and mounting 2 pods straight to it?

    after rereading...guess you are not wanting to rack mount.

    no ideas then cause you need a wire path.

    You could do a 48” tailgate light bar with integrated reverse lights and mount on the lower edge of the tailgate so you don’t cover the access hole to lower the spare tire.

    Wiring is not the issue, location is.

    Ideally mouting them off the shell rack would be perfect but the rear awning would cover them
