Added Light Switch in Bedroom

I reuse the factory installed single light switch that was use for the overhead lights in the living room and relocated it into our bedroom for the 2 overheads fixtures wired together. (Don't understand why Keystone while building these RVs just don't do that in the beginning. ) Fishing the wires from the first fixture to the light switch in the wall was a "booger" but with patience and a couple of cold ones, I got it! If needed, each fixture can still be shutoff individually by it's own switch.

very nice job. I agree that a lot of the switch placement and wiring setup does not make a lot of sense.

Initially that was my first choice to use pull chain switches and even had them in my hand at local Home Depot and decided "what the heck, might as well try the old wire fishing method".

Byrdr1,
Yes reaching up each time to turn on and off the lights was kind of an inconvenience. What do you mean closest to the bathroom door?
