Cool Table looks great... Re - Courtesy Light

It's natural cherry with an oil finish. It's about 1/2 the weight of the original MDF and Formica table.

Also, I've verified a work-around for the dead chassis battery issue several of us have run into. I believe that the radio and a mal-functioning auto shutoff for the little courtesy light are the culprits. If you look at the picture above you'll see the courtesy light. It should have shut off by the time I took that photo.

To stop the battery drain look up under the center console; you'll see these two bundles of wires.



Simply disconnect both. Our Axis has been in storage since Thanksgiving when I disconnected mine. I went down last weekend (2/14) to check on things and it started right up. I'll have to get a clamp-on ammeter and figure out exactly which of the wires are carrying current and then insert an appropriate switch.

My wife and I just purchased a 2016 Vegas 25.2. While we were sitting in the coach talking with the sales guy, I noticed that the little courtesy light you point out was still on. The final outcome was that the interior lights were sit on high. They will stay on until you turn it off from the highest setting locked on with the rheostat... Might be something for others to take a look at if they are killing their batteries.

The wood work you have accomplished with your table and arm rests is great.
