Thanks for the info. I went down the street tonight and took a look at a guy's TT that has a factory installed strip. It's about an inch below the awning track. That's what I'm going to go with.
Also received today cool item for the wiring. It's an adapter, which is basically an 1156 bulb base with 2-wire leads out of it. I'll just remove the bulb from my porch light, put the adapter in its place and use the wire leads to power my light strip. Bingo! my light strip power is controlled by the porch light switch. You can find ANYTHING on the interwebs!
