Lighting / Ambience / Outside / Inside / Upgrades / Awning

Exterior wise, our coach is a bit different style wise....our coach has several marker lights around the top edges (front, sides & rear)...i replaced all of those (previously incandescent) marker lights w/ LED (cluster) marker lights....it looks MUCH better (not over done).


INTERIOR WISE - I did away with the (incandescent) rope lights under all of our cabinets at the TOE Kick & in the over head mirror - several bulbs were burnt out in the rope lights.

I replaced the Toe Kick rope light w/ STRIPS of (white) 12v (dc) LED lights.

In the "living room" overhead/ceiling mirror i replaced the rope light with 9 feet of RGB colored LED lights (like what i used on my exterior awning from AMAZON LED Lights )

Ive since discovered that AT NIGHT (especially while driving) that the WHITE Toe Kick LED lighting created excessive glare/reflection in my windshield, so i added s short stripe of RED LED's under the Toe Kick (too)....so if my passengers need some light (while I'm driving) they can use the RED lights and reduce the glare/reflection in the windshield.

I also have a short strip of RED lights under my outdoor steps (to back light the steps) to make it easier to see the steps at night.

I also replaced all the (poorly placed) single bulb (automotive type) incandescent bulbs in my basement storage bays with STRIPS of White LED lights (same ones i used at the cabinet toe kicks) - the basement lighting / coverage is much MUCH better now.

I don't have any interior (Toe Kick) or basement storage lighting pictures at this time (ill try to add some later).

Here's a couple of pictures of the Awning/Step lights that i just completed last week.

I to have driven truck for over 40 years,I just got through installing BLUE rope lights to the frame of my south wind 38 ft.The lights cannot be seen from front or back as per calif law.BUT going down the road at night or parked at a camp spot all you see is a BLUE ORRA around the couch.My Harley was the same way.Next will come 2 more extra clearance lights on top.and 6 amber lights in the front grill.I also have red lights under the dash and on the floors by the eng cover. I mite be done ???????????? PS when I was driving truck I had 104 lights on my Freightliner,Had to replace with a bigger alternator.

I was kind of hoping to see people post what they had done, any pictures?

Great post! As I have just ordered about 60 feet of LED ribbon lights.

Pogoil.

A little too much of a good thing for my taste. A little is tasteful and classy, a lot and it starts to look well.. less so.
Kinda like those guys that put every piece of plastic chrome they can buy on their pickup.
A very nice rig BTW.

I like the lights at the cabinet toe kick- well done

I do have a lot of rope lights on the inside. I do not think I need anything else on the inside.

X2 I think the inside is done.
