Why would you want to light up the camper at night? Why not use the LED lighting system? Seems like lighting up the camper would be to bright and maybe annoy your neighbors??? Just asking for a friend

The vast majority of our camping is in LA and MS state parks where you may or may not be able to see your neighbors...............and lights underneath the camper do not annoy anyone, at least we have NEVER had a complaint.
Quite the reverse, we have had some ask how we did it because they wanted to do it as well.

I keep the underneath LED system on during most overnights. They definitely keep possums, ‘dillas and skunks away.

This makes me wonder. How many (12 volt) amps could be put into the battery(s) from solar, or how much could be taken out for an inverter? Will the power go both ways?

Got that right, but I understand a campfire is definitely needed whenever the temperature gets below 95 degrees.

Hi All,
Good morning. Just another day in Paradise. This item should also activate your observation camera for night time use.... Have a great day,

We just learned about this trick on this thread. We LOVE IT, for the very reason NO bugs and we can see to approach the camper from our stinky campfire

I simply used hard electrical wire,non stranded, about 3 inches long. Bent it until U shaped. Inserted on top two openings on female plug on trailer. I use it to test all my lights without having to plug rv to truck

Silly me. All this time I thought the power for all the running lights came from the tow vehicle. I’m gonna give this a try just to see it all light up!

Why go to that expense when the fuse or wire are most likely hanging around your garage already and are free. I actually use a spare fuse from the cover on the left side of the instrument panel in my truck. The power comes from the converter and costs nothing.

When connected to your truck, it does..............but here you aer simply jumping the 12V power coming from your converter over to the circuit for the running lights.........easy, cheap and..........illuminating

The OP's question has been answered. The site team is closing the thread for the sake of forum harmony.
