THIS is what I planned on doing until I can barter some help to fully install an electric panel on my bus. I bought the parts for doing this setup plus a 50 foot 10 guage (10/3) power cord plus an RV adaptor while on the road. I can use either the regular 110 plug or the RV adaptor (or both at the same time running 2 separate cords) while on my land since I had the electric pedestal installed last summer with both types of connections.

My first light system in my skoolie until I got the solar up and running was a set of 6 solar garden light for 20 bucks at Wallie world

I stuckem in the ground outside when I went to work in the morning and brought them in and put them in holders I made on the wall at night in parts of the bus

They worked well

Dennis...I'm all over that one! Last summer when all the garden stuff went on sale I bought 25 of the better ones for like $1.50 each. They work GREAT inside the bus and stay lit for most of the night. I don't even have to take them outside to charge them...I got full sun out there - just stick 'em in the window.
It's also great to always have lots of light on in there even when I'm not there. Nobody knows if I'm there or not. When I first put them in my bus, I guess the Amish kept stopping by with loaves of bread and goodies but wondered why I never answered the door. They all had a good laugh when they found out "the lights were on but nobody was home"
