Camper Shell Wiring Question
I have a Leer XR camper shell on order; dude says he'll hook up the 12V light and 12V outlets right off the battery. Would there be any advantage (or disadvantage) to making the connection to an up-fitter switch instead? My thinking is that I could better control a potential battery run-down situation (ex: light left on) that way. I have no idea if this would be even feasible.
Could someone with more knowledge than I please chime it?
Thanks in advance.

Like MisterCMK pointed out, the key needs to be on for the upfitter switches to work. I ran a lead from my battery to the back that's hot all the time and hooked some LED lights up to a magnetic switch that turns the lights on when I open the topper door. You can read about it here about 2/3 the way through the page. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ime-out-4.html
