    Question MARKER LIGHTS ALL NIGHT

    Don't know exactly if or when I would do this, but is there enough juice in the batteries to park overnight with the marker lights left on and still have enough kick to start the engine?

    I guess I will try this tonight and know in the morning, but I was wondering if there was an answer right now.

    I have leds.

    After a little thought I will just turn on the battery charger and all should be peaches and cream.

    I've often wondered a similar question, i.e. if I'm parked along a side street, or rest stop or similar, I would prefer to leave parking lights on. I've never tried to see how long the coach batteries would last with markers on. Hopefully enough to make it though the night, and still start the next AM?

    I have always left the marker lights on while parked overnight in rest areas. Never had any problem with the batteries being low and really never gave it much thought. It just seems like cheap insurance when the coach appears ready to roll as opposed to being asleep.

    That's exactly what I feel Ted, the lights seem to give an imposing if not menacing/threatening look that says don't mess with me, or if you mess with me I'm ready for you!

    Jimmy C: You got so many bright lights you will be cited and charged with LIGHT POLLUTION.

    This is a law you may not be familiar with, but we have them in East Tn. - No matter - I was never good with following instructions anyway.

    LEDs Forever!!!

    Ray Davis: check Sailor Sams for more 12Volt Led lights for your coach.

    Cool

    Roger, the power of the LED is AWSOME, they illuminate the whole bus barn and I have to be very careful when I go to check out the back of the bus that I don't burn out my eyes when passing them.
    To look directly into them is a disaster in the making

    Real buses have incandescent lamps and rivets. LEDs are eye candy like fake boobs.
