LED project on Sunday
Well I just booked a dry camp outing for the weekend of 9/12. Since its always dark there I have decided to do a LED project. I have ordered some water proof LED flexible strips and a few other things...

I was able to get my LED Strip mounted this evening.
Thank GOD for power awnings ;) cause i was able to hide the power lead inside the awning arm & use the same hidden hole in the wall that the factory created for the power lead to the power awning.
The strip of LED's will be hidden and protected during travel by the awning when its rolled up.
In this picture i have temporarily used white duct tape to keep the LED extension wire from moving around loosely, this will also prevent the power lead from getting pinched or abraded.
the IR sensor is fairly well hidden inside the coach behind the window, I may move it by soldering an extension on into the sensor wire and moving the sensor outside the coach to get a little better direct/shot with the remote (rather than having to hold my arm up in the air and pointing it at the window.
In this picture you can see the awning LED's match the (red) LED's under our step nicely
Its tough to get the full effect while inside our storage bay (cant extend the awning more than about 1/4 of the entire depth. I'll get some more pictures this weekend when I'm at the Circuit of Americas LeMans race.
