No flood lights on 2017 Eagle

[Mopar_Earl]

I noticed they don't have any flood lights or porch lights on the 2017 Eagle 293RKDS. Granted they have the led strip light under the awning. Also I noticed no utility light on the lower front of the trailer. They have one up by the pin box that would be ok for seeing in the bed of the truck. I like my flood lights for setting up after dark. It even helps backing into a site in the dark with the floods on. I can easily add a light to the lower front, but adding and getting wires ran to flood lights on curb and road sides wouldn't be fun. I have emailed Jayco about the lack of these lights to see if 2018 units will have them or if they can be added to the build sheet.
Looks like 2016 units had flood lights or at least one on the curb side.

Yes, I call them flood lights. Lol I've always used them as flood lights, never to scare. Though not sure what is scary about a 12v flood light. Lol

Well it's kinda scary standing on a step ladder to change the bulb and it's kinda scary trying to sleep with your neighbors on all night!!

Last new rig I ordered they were a option.

Lol never had to change a bulb, yet. I rarely use my flood lights. Only for setting up in the dark.
Anyone that leaves any kind of exterior lights on most of or all night have very bad manors!!
Jayco isn't listing them as standard or optional and the ones I looked at on the lot and online don't have them.

Our 2014 Eagle did not have one either. Jayco felt the awning LED strip took its place. After having the LED light strip replaced 3 times we put in a porch light with a motion sensor like this one.

Best mod we did.

Hope it helps.
