Stealth13 that's a sweet setup! Can't believe it was that cold in August though! HAHA!

Ya only about 0c that day rest of the trip was between 15 and 25c . We like the two batteries I do carry a powerhouse 3100i when we boon dock. We had to run the furnace most nights on this trip down to about 2 c most nights but the solar kept up never had a problem. We run the gen set if we want to watch the tv or a DVDs oh and the hairdryer when we shower. I also put in an oxygenics shower head and a rod that allows the curtain to move out to give more room in the stall. And in to hang wet clothes so they drip in the shower pan when not showering.
We love our Stealth and would definitely buy one again if we decided to go bigger down the road.

Me too! We don't have many full hookup sites here in Idaho. Mostly dispersed, or an occasional forest service or BLM campground where you get a space, fire ring and picnic table only. We will go 9 to 10 days sometime on the two batteries with a generator top off every 2-3 days on the old trailer (no solar), so it will be interesting to see how the solar keeps up with demand.

How did you install the led under the awning ? Can you upload pics?

They come as an option upgrade now. Not sure what year they started but my 2016 has them. They are crazy bright too. Sorry about my grumpy parents in the picture haha. Wife was happy camper though

Agreed, almost too bright. Not sure yet, but the first use of em had me thinking too bright.

Can you take a pic off where the power source is coming from?

prestonj12 · 09-02-2015, 04:57 PM

It's built in to the electric awning. Go to the Dometic website, model 9100 power patio awning.

Can you take a picture of where the wiring is for power on the led strip?

PolarisGuy · 09-02-2015, 05:53 PM

I'm setting up camp tomorrow and I'll make a note of where mine is connected and take a pic as well.

Just tap into the awning wire and put a little switch on the arm or something...that's what I plan on doing soon

I like the 5th wheel style hand rail at the back door! You install that yourself or did the 16's come with that??

Is the awning wire hot?

PolarisGuy · 09-03-2015, 10:58 PM

That's a good question cause it's not!! Haha I just went outside and looked...tap into porch light?? Or if your awning arm goes all the way down to the bottom of the trailer run wires straight from the batt???
I'm sure the '16s with factory installed stuff is drilled and ran during the build

Man I like it! I'll have to look into seeing if I can mount one...I bet it's easier for the kids and wives...well mine at least cause she's a shorty

PolarisGuy · 09-04-2015, 11:24 AM

Yeah it makes it a breeze for my 9 year old. I love how it folds down flat against the door when traveling too. Hey speaking of LED' sunder the awning. Last night when I was setting up camp my brother in law and I thought of a possible solution to put the factory led awning strip on a dimmer. Going to try it out soon (not this trip) and see how it goes. I know that not all led's are dimable but it's worth a shot. The stock brightness is just insane.

Kmartin760 · 09-05-2015, 10:08 AM

It was on the trailer. Not sure what the option costs but it's got be worth it

Stealth13 · 09-07-2015, 05:36 PM

I put mine on my self , wiring is connected to the porch light. I have a remote with 27 colours including white. The remote can dim and fade the lights.
