Upgrading Interior LED Lighting and Driver's Area Overview
At 1:02 in
Full Tour of My 1996 Newell Coach With EPIC Racing History! (Full Time RVer)
What happens here
The driver's area features an array of gauges reminiscent of a 1970s Soviet troop transporter, indicating the vintage nature of the coach's controls. A large, approximately 20-inch wide bus-driver style steering wheel is present. The owner points out a 'sick horn' that plays songs and various switches for functionalities like fast idle and battery merge. Above the driver's area, custom RGB LED strip lights have been temporarily laid out. The owner explains that these are currently being tested for placement, and he plans to permanently install and hide the wiring by drilling holes and soldering pieces for a clean, integrated look.
Goal: Install custom RGB LED lighting and tour the driver's console.
