Help with awning LED strip

Have you had any problem with the LED strip sticking to the vinyl? I did, so I sprayed the strip with clear lacquer and have not had a problem since.

Well I will let you know as I just installed mine. I cleaned the track with rubbing alcohol first and just used the 3m tape with a little caulk on each end. I also ran an extension down the awning arm. Its been up there a week so far and no problems ..yet

I have one, I clip it to the awning and have not used the 3M tape yet. So far mine has attracted a few folks, and is still working like a champ.

I have 4 of these things, put two on my dad dock, one on my RV awning and another is sitting here on my desk as a spare. I've learned that the IR sensor's are not very good, and they are worse during the day time. You will certainly have to get the IR sensor poking out of any box you make. On mine I placed the stip on the awning just using the 3M tape. I added zip ties on both ends as well. Then I ran an extension through the awing arms following the same path as the wire that goes to the motor on the awning using one of these: Clicky

The awning wire goes into the trailer near the bottom, I'm not sure where it goes from there. So I simply place my controller here (it was one of the smaller slim ones.) it's hidden under the awning arm molding that also cover the awning motor wire. I let the power connector and the IR sensor hanging out the bottom. So for me I just use an extension cord and the 12 volt power supply to get power.

Some day (once my warranty is expired, I'll extend the cable to the inside of my front hatch and pull 12 volt from the light in there. I also plan to upgrade from an IR controller to an RF (wireless) controller like this one: Clicky
Hope this helps...

The 3M tape seems to work fine except at the ends...too much weight for the tape especially at the connector end but I just used some clear packaging tape to help. Test out and install as soon as you can...mine worked fine on the roll but 3 LEDs were burned out and mine oddly failed to change colors after I unrolled it.

Before attempting to install, make sure the correct connectors were supplied. Test the darn thing first! I bought one and the connectors were totally boogered up. Never again for me but maybe you will have better luck than I did.
