Party Time & Secret Surprise for Pomona!
Thanks to the inspiration of Chuck Watts, I set out to find something like my Phillips Hue for motorhome exteriors.
It was a little tricky, because instead of trying to light one unit, we were trying to prototype (10) units to light in sync.
While this is not quite ready for primetime...it looked pretty cool at our dealer show. These lights are app controlled. I can pick any solid color, rotate colors, flash, strobe. I can even use the camera to pick up a color from something and the light strip will try and mimic that color...like maybe getting the lights to replicate the full body paint.
Lastly...this is just a prototype. BUT, 9 of these units are going to Pomona and will be sold with the lights. So if you are heading to Pomona, (9) of the (14) units on display will have this lighting package at no charge. So, please don't try to warranty them if an LED goes out. There is no warranty on free. If you do end up buying one...the app is call Magic Light II. its normally the first one that shows up. OR, you can scan the QR code that is on the controller.

Speaking of lighting, our DX3 has a multiplex button for "aisle lights" nothing happens when we push it and Travis said, "oh guess they forgot to install them"
Soo is this something the dealer can do when we take it in, or is it a big deal to install after they should already have been installed

Brian- I'm interested in purchasing an ISATA5 4x4. Will there be any at the event? Is there someone I can talk to now about the show?

1. aisle lights can be just about anywhere. it might also be step lights. So you're saying you have no step lights or aisle lights?
2. Pomona will have at least one floor plan of all our models.
3. There will be Isata 5 4x4's at the show.
4. We have... DJ BC

We have neither, saw aisle lights on a new rig at the RV show. Would they have to tear anything up to install either the aisle or step?

Probably not. For a while, the step lights were in the stair nosing, but the supplier ran us out of the trim. So we ended up switching to a surface mounted light on the side.
Assuming that switch is not just mislabeled.

Can we get a close up picture of the LED lights? I'd like to know how and where they are mounted. Thanks

We've seen both step and aisle lights in other rigs and we have neither. Can lights be shipped to dealer for install? How hard is it to tap in to the multiplex and which ones would/can we get installed?

I don't see why not. I'd reach out to Travis on that one, maybe with a picture of the step well. Could be you have the lED lights and they are out?
Either that, or the aisle light is a ceiling light that is set too dim. It's just hard to tell without being there. I have sat in a coach, hitting a light switch over and over trying to find where it was. Sometimes we give you too much flexibility/choice. We leave one single light off of the main living room light.
I have also seen an aisle light in the dinette base.
