The following describes how I fitted LED strip-lights in the cab of my Auto Trail Frontier Mohawk mine is a high line model but looking at AT brochure the same procedure can probably be used on both Low-line and Super Low-line models.
For anyone thinking of going this route it is surprisingly straightforward and takes a couple of hours or so to complete.
Due to photo upload restrictions its necessary to spread this over a series of postings. In the final one I will supply links to the items purchased for this project.
It is firstly necessary to remove the plastic decor nosing and end covers, remove the thin black (different colour in other year models) strip running from side to side that covers the fixing screws (photo 1) This strip is held in place with double sided tape and in my case was impossible to remove without pulling off a lot of the adhesive surface so it would be wise to purchase some tape for the reassembly.
The long nosing is fixed by 3 screws (photo 2) remove and gently pull nosing toward you and off. The 2 end sections are held by 2 visible screws and 1 hidden one. To access the latter take out the small black screws holding the vertical plastic trim in place, in my case I had to remove the top second and third screws down to allow sufficient movement of this strip for access to remove the screw fixing bottom of end sections Photo 3 shows drivers side with end section removed fixing screw-holes are visible in vertical section of plastic trim.
Next it is necessary to remove the fabric covered panel on bulkhead behind drivers seat photo 4.
