Casita Interior Lights

[Montana Mac]

I lost the interior light in the hallway and the outside light. Have checked fuses and bulbs. THese are OK. Next step?

On my 2021 Spirit Deluxe, those two fixtures are at the very end of a wiring string that runs under the carpeting on the wall behind the microwave oven compartment.

Casita uses "quick-splices" to connect the fixture wires to the DC supply wire - and these splices aren't always installed correctly.

So, I would suggest poking around to see where your splices are (you may be able to feel them through the carpet), and confirming that they're still making good connections.

If you have to cut through the carpet to access them, use some contact cement to close up the cuts after you're finished.

Thanks for that suggestion. I had no idea where to even think about beginning. THat would make sense that they are on the end of the run and both out with compromised splice.

While you're in there, you might consider reconnecting your outdoor fixture so that it's controlled by a switch mounted somewhere inside - Allows you to turn on that light at night without leaving the security of your trailer.

I installed mine (a miniature toggle switch) on the right side of the range hood, immediately above the rear sleeping area - Don't even need to get out of bed to turn it on.

On my 2007 Casita Spirit Deluxe, the "hallway" light and the external light (by the steps) are on the same 15 amp fuse. If I remember correctly it is fuse #2.
