Mount two flood lights forward of the rear bumper, but above it's bottom level.
Aimed to the rear and slightly down, they will light up the entire area behind your coach without blinding anyone.
Not prone to breakage when mounted backwards either.

BTW Most states require that a white light shining to the rear must only be powered up when vehicle is in reverse. No manual switch allowed.

You won't get caught if you never forget to turn them off. Yah, I know, how do they get away with the "worklights" on pickups? An old cop rambling on.

Marvin -

I saw one MCI awhile back with two fog lamps mounted adjacent to the back-up camera and blended into the top of the rear cap.

If you want BRIGHT, then get a couple of Cibie E-code fog lamps. www.cibieusa.com

FWIW & HTH. . .

I have two lights mounted on either side of back up camera in my camera pod, switched up front on dash. They do provide needed light when backing up, work great.

I like them mounted up high so I can see overhanging branches when backing into camping sites. Also illuminates the whole area.

I'm going to install mine like Paul's so they work when the BU camera is on. If the monitor is on I'll know the BU lights are on.

Gus, I have a seperate switch for the lights. Even though my camera has night vision it still helps if someone is guiding me in. That way when the camera is on during daylight the lights are off.
