I got one of these Stanley Tripod flashlights for Christmas last year and I love it.  I have used it while camping several times and it has come in very handy.  You can also collapse the arms and use it like a normal flashlight.  It cost about 25 dollars according to the Stanley website.

Cool Light Greg.

When we pull in late (which is most of the time), I will turn on the scare lights to help me get set up. If that don't work, then the wife and kids will hold a flashlight for me. Usually I carry my Dewalt light, but if I forget it at the house, we keep a regular flashlight stored in the camper.

I use a light that fits on the bill of my cap. Just recently bought one that has a red led, high and low beam. From Wal-Mart.

I have used several over the past year. Light goes where I look. Works well for me. Just an option.

When pulling in at night. I thought about adding a set of fog lights at the rear of the camper and wire them into the reverse light on the truck. I talked to the tech at Dick Gores and he told me that the pink wire in the round 7 connector pin is a spare wire and for me to hook it up there. Then on the truck side hook it to the reverse lights.

I just have to figure out how to get it from the kingpin to the rear of the camper with out seeing any of the wiring....

I need to do something.....when we pull in after dark, I have to depend on Kim to back me in....the problem is, she stands where I can't see her and then fusses if I try to tell her to move......can't figure that one out yet.

I can't speak for Kim, but I definately react much better when Kev asks me nicely to move into a better place so that he can see me (rarely happens) vice telling me to move (very common).  Really helps communication when I'm not ticked off...  just sayin...

That's why I don't let Chris or the girls out of the truck until it's backed in. That way I now exactly where they are. LOL
