OK...don't laugh! This is probably going to seem silly but I honestly can not figure it out. I have a 2001 Sundowner 8008 with Trailblazer III living quarters. When you walk in the door the light switches are on the left, along side the cupboard. Pump and hot water switches are also there. One of the switches will turn on the lights up in the bed area. That has 4 small circular lights in the ceiling and two slanted/reading lights above the head board area. My question is..how do you turn on/off the lights when you are in the bed area. When I get in bed at night and its dark I'd love to be able to turn on a light. If I leave the switch on, the four circular ones in the ceiling stay on. I'd like to be able to just turn the ones on above the head board (which do have a switch on the backside of the lamp). Any suggestions? Am I just missing something so obvious?

I needs a 3 way type switch what I have done was a little clip on light plugged in and clipped it to the head of the bed. Or call an electrician to put in a 3 way switch. Maybe even a little night light would help too.

To determine if your light switch is a three way...you need to take the plate off and determine how many wires there on the switch and in the switch box...If you look at the diagrams on the following site...you will see the three possible ways that the wiring for a three way switch can occur...there is an initial diagram then IGNORE the 4-way and jump to the bottom of the page for the last two wiring diagrams....
Basically this is what you will see in the diagrams...the three possibilities for wiring a three-way...
