Here are the lights Amazon.com: Qty 10- LED Lights- 5mm pre wired 12 volt leds- 12V Red: Automotive
and the switches http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the little collars http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
First you remove the light from the cabinet by removing the 4 screws.
I drilled a small hole in the factory light where you want the led to shine, if you use the right size bit you may not need the collars. Insert the led and then locate a place for the switch, on the side. Carefully select the right size bit and drill that hole, install the switch. Connect the positive from the led to one switch wire and run the other switch wire to the positive feed to the lamp. ETI uses crimp connections and I find inserting the wire into the connection and using stickum to hold it there works. Repeat for the negative feed. Reinstall light and you are done.

The antenna is a Jensen short rubber mast, it is laying inside the upper cabinet behind the radio. If you do not want the blue tooth model you can get the antenna, speakers and radio as a set http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went to Amazon where you purchased the bamboo shower floor Jim. In the product description they say bamboo is not intended to be used in high moisture areas, so no to inside shower stalls. We used a washable carpet in our Casita that we removed during shower use, but would like to use something else in our Escape. Any suggestions out there for the shower floor?

Yeah, teak is one of the few woods that would work in a shower. I think they do have mats available, or making one would be real easy too.

There's always Dri-Dek, but I find it hard on my soft feet. YMMV

The shower floor in front of the toilet is only 22" x 28" on a 21? It feels huge in there - must be the way the walls curve out.

I found this package of interlocking mats at Costco for $12-$14 dollars, cut one to fit. Provides a nice cushion.

That stuff looks like it doesn't breathe, Myron. No worries with mold?

It's possible. Too early to tell. Unlikely we'll ever use the shower, though. It lifts out easy enough for drying out. Most important for us is the cushion and non-slip surface.

Not to mention the added warmth too the tootsies for that middle of the night trip.
Now you have me thinking. We rarely use the shower too, and something like this could just be pulled when (or after) the shower is used. Heck, it just needs to be a simple square sized just big enough to put your feet upon.

I have an old folded up bath towel I use the shower pan of my Scamp. Keeps all the dirt and grit off the fiberglass floor, is warm on the bare feet and is easily removed and shaken outside. It too gets washed at the end of a camping trip. I'm likely to do the same in my 5er. KISS

After looking at some items for the shower floor, I think we'll just stick with a bathroom carpet. It's warm on the feet, easily removed when showering, and easy to wash. We'll be carrying 2 for when the first one gets moist. On the trip home from picking up our new trailer, we noticed some pretty heavy condensation below the belly band on the passenger side of the bathroom. We, including Reace, don't know why the condensation was there. It was enough to dampen the carpet. Do any others have problems with condensation in the bathroom?

Paul, our 21 shower floor is 22"x 26". Wonder why the difference?

We use the dri-dek that Donna mentioned. I don't mind the feel on my feet, and it works well for us. When dirty and/or dirt collects underneath, we just take it out and hose it down.
