LED lights

Looking for advise, I bought some LED lights and plan to mount them under the awning on the camper, What is the best way to route the wires. I could ty wrap them to the awning bracket, another thing is to remove the light by the door and connect them there. I just looking for different ideas.
thanks
  • I ran the wire under the arm of the awning where it mounts to the FW.
  • I always mount them to the camper below the gutter, drill hole thru the side and mount the remote above or inside a cabine and tap into a 12volt line in the rig and not use the power supply that they sell for the light strips. Also I add 3m auto trim dbl stick tape to the strip before mounting and never have one come off. The tape on the strips is way too weak.
  • Every camper is different. My old camper, I had to drill a hole and seal. If Ibwas to do it again, I woukd have gonebout the fridge vent and used the gutter. My new camper, I used the hole for the current white LEDs and the power awning wire and resealed.
