Location: germantown,ohio		I am working on diy lq. getting ready to install electric converter out of old camper. If I tie my 12 volt into one of the factory interior lights will it feed to the other lights. Also will the 12.6 volts the converter puts out be enough to charge batteries.

Location: Minneapolis, MN		Sure you can "daisy chain" the lights...but just know, the factory wire sizes are marginal at best..and voltage drop is a big factor in a 12 v system.

Your converter should be putting out at least 13.5 volts....the better ones have a 3 stage charge..the upper voltage is like 14.4v.
