Here is an approach that the PO added to my 1990 U280 36' to have better headlights; Let me know if anyone has seen anything like this before!
The two flaps just below the windshield that are top hinged and used for access to items behind the grill have had air cylinders added along with an air feed and asco valve. A mounting bracket was fabricated and 4 large round halogen lights were mounted. When you actuate the "Aux Road Lights" on the dash, the flaps come up to horizontal and the lights come on. It must be pretty scary for someone coming the other direction! Those top lights are high up. I'm not sure this rig is street legal, but it sure gets the job done. Here are a couple of pictures for chuckles.
The PO must have seen the Johnny Five personal robot movie.
He owned a Chevy dealership in Paris Texas, and I think anytime the shop wasn't busy he had somebody "tweeking" the coach.
My concern for this application is;
1. Do you really know how your coach as been driven? Obviously OFF ROAD :))
2. Are you up to the GENIUS level executed with the upgrade? :P
3. What kind of tires do you have? b^.^d
Last, why didn't I think of that? :headwall:
My thoughts too. Must have been OFF road as the wind noise/action would have been massive at highway speeds!!!

There really isn't much increase in wind noise--- who knew? This thing actually works.
Maybe I should have posted on the Off Road forum ;D
The mounting bracket goes all the across the coach and has braces back to the front bulkhead. Made out of a light channel iron.
As far as off road--- maybe if you fully inflated the bags, it might make a pretty good puddle jumper! It has been to our deer lease a couple of times. What a great camp house, the wife really likes it when we take it to the ranch in south Texas.
...and you've got a diesel generator to power all those lights! haha ...hey, and what about one of those huge propane powered spotlights on the roof? ;D
Can't put the light on the roof, that's reserved for the machine gun mount ;D
Totally awesome.
