    Hi guys,
    Just got a new DCLB 3 weeks ago. I just picked a Snugtop camper. Just wire third brake light.
    I could run wire all the way to the battery with in-line fuse but I don't want to do that if there is an easier way.
    For the dome light, where do most people tap it?

    The cargo light in my shell gets it's power from the tail lights, so it only works when the tail lights are on. It's a bit inconvenient at times, but it gaurantees you won't leave the cargo light on and kill your battery.

    I tapped the dome light to the cargo bed light.
    The switch is in the console. I plan to tap it to the trailer Aux 12v, but then I have to run longer wire.
    Cargo bed light is already there.
