Well Sir,
Not bad, not bad at all. I did the same thing, about 3 years ago on our '04 Itasca Horizon. Yep, I too wanted better lighting under that awning. Well, before I knew about LED lighting strips, for Fathers day, my son got me a "kit" (marketed by Dometic) for LED lighting for under awning. It came with a 36" strip and, some 120VAC and 12VDC power wiring. Long story short, I added three more sections to that original one and, powered everything up with 12VDC.
It (the kit) came with a remote that, also has buttons to dim and brighten it. The project took me the better part of a day and, like yours, it's a welcome addition. And, if you like that, then maybe you'll like two of my other LED projects. I did an "Under body" strip light and, an "under step" LED strip.
Now, it's not so bright that you need sunglasses at night but, those two added lighting sections, sure make for safer placement on steps and, also a more subtle arrangement of lighting, based on your wants and desires, in the evening.
And, none of it will disturb fellow campers. All are controlled independently of each other. Fun projects and, serve a great purpose.
