Been busy at work and trying to get some stuff done on the camper. Added LED tape lights behind the slide out moldings. Did this on each side with separate switches to control each side. That way in the evening if you wanted to watch tv you wouldn't have to have all of the lights on. Also added LEDs under the drop down bed in the back, it was just to dark to sit back there and eat or play cards. Then decided to get ride of the car stereo and put in a real home theater with blue-ray. Still have a few more ideas but just don't have time to get them all done. Click image for larger version

Nice idea with the LED's behind the slide out moldings. Looks great!

I did the LED strips under the bunk in the garage also. Love it. But FYI the sticky on the back of mine wasn't strong enough to hold it up in the heat so I had to whip stitch it up.

Had the same problem. I took the plastic wire staples and used them to hold them up.

Looks nice "the.wilsons". Where did you get the LED strips? Wolf.

They were from Amazon. http://www.ledwholesalers.com/ was the seller. Next plan on doing some under the steps on a motion detector.

Mr. Wilson, where did you mount the strips at the slide... on the wall or on the slide itself?

I am thinking the temp gradient changeable strip would be da boom. And, would like to use some/most of the "16.4 ft" at the slide and the rest over the kitchen cab. both controlled by the same remote. Any thoughts, oh, enlightened one (I couldn't resist that!)

Mounted them on the wall itself behind the slide out molding. Wired them up to two different switches, that way they can be controlled separately. We didn't need another remote to keep up with but a remote would work just fine. We are thing about putting them on a dimmer to be able to control the light output though.
