We were doing a "forced march" from Washington DC back to Deming. Fran's sister in law was scheduled for a surgery & we had 3 days to get home, +/- 700 miles per day. On the 1st nite somewhere in the Appalachians, around 10 pm when a truck passed us I reached down to flash the headlights. The toggle felt a bit "spongy" . The lights went out but did not come back on! Using the park lights and moon I was able to get off the interstate at next exit. Thinking worst case I could wire direct by-passing the switch. I fiddled with the switch & the lights came back on. I did not touch the switch for the next days until we made it home. All in all, we think even most "bad" nights in the coach are better than "good" nights in a motel.
