LED Awning Lights Added

[dbylinski]

As requested by the Mod Master (porthole) here are some pics of our added LED awning lights. Cost $60.00 with free shipping from http://www.m4products.com/strip-lights/

John mounted the remote sensor inside the awning outlet box and it works while covered. All and all an excellent addition!

Last pic is of the newly mounted 32 inch basement television.

did you mount them flat on the wall of the Horn ? or angel them on the awning mounting stripe?

Deb, I'm guessing you show the outlet because something is added (lower right corner). What is that?

We mounted them flat on the camper right under the awning track.

I made the same mod last Febuary with a shut off switch right next to the patio light switch. Just returning from a cross country trip, we found we used these lights for outside lighting instead of the patio ight. One advantage in mounting the lights close to the bottom of the awning is the awning acts as a light shade preventing the lights from shining into the trailer parked next to us. With the awning closed, the lights on our unit only shines about 5 foot from the RV. By opening the awning as little as a cople of inches, the light shines 10 to 15 feet.

Duane, that is the sensor thingy for the remote. I hope I am not being too technical.

I think you posted yours up in winter with snow all around???

And this is bad for me. I'd go round the entire top just to flip people out while running down the road at night...and put it on strobe.
It could result in the need for a disco ball as well

Our awning is 18' but we installed a 16' strip. Didn't want to go through extending it although we considered it (for a very brief moment).

Love the new lights! I saw them on a rig at Goshen and thought the light they give off not only to be efficient but very pretty.

You can order them as a direct 12 volt or a 110 with a transformer installation. The choice is yours.

Did you by chance take pics of the install? Where did you run the wiring for this? How did you get the remote deal into the power outlet box? Was it hard wired in? Been looking at doing this same thing for the last year. Even have a roll of the lights here just not mounted them yet.
Thanks or the post it does get some of us fired up about getting this mod done.

Pete, check out the Traveling Talleys blog (April 2013), Malcolm (MCT) added the LED lights to our Big Country and we love them. He does show how they were installed and he would be open to any questions you might have.

Did the same type of install this spring, ran the power, 12v, from the junction box in the hitch under the trims strips to the bottom of the awning arm where the light feed comes down. with some trailers there is a storage door just bleow the awning arm and you can run it all into there, especially since the transformers are usually not waterproof. the light strips, 5meter waterproof, can be had on Ebay for about $10 to $15 dollars.
