Strings of lights

I did that ONCE.......

Hung lights around, across awning arms and roller....plugged them in and AHhhhh didn't they look nice.

Little while later storm blew in......high winds and heavy rain.
Had to rip them down in order to get awning retract before it was torn/damaged.

Rope lights on the ground is what I would do next time........IF there is a next time :B

I think now is a good time to buy them, all the stores have Xmas lights for sale currently.

You can string a BUNCH of LED lights without any fear of blowing the fuse built into the string.

We have seen christmas lights, the LED bulbs......

Strung from tree to tree like a washing line

Attatched on small shepards hooks placed around site

Attatched to the awning with clips designed for the job

We have seen numerous amounts of awning lights, google them and you will find a huge variety. You can buy the clips for stringing onto the awning.

If you were to put lights out, you could check with an RV shop on what they suggest would cause the least damage...... preferably none

We like the idea of stringing them and being supported by small shepherds hooks or some sort stake. We have a lot of the shepherds hooks that came with solar lights for the garden. We kept them in case we needed them after the lights were worn out.

Good luck!

Skip the lights and invest in a nice PVC light pole with a led light. Much more welcoming than lights and if you have to put the awning down quick, the lights won't impede that process.

We wanted lights strung up. We bought the Velcro hangers for the awning that can roll up with it and love them. If we need to get awning in, it's a quick pull down of the lights and roll up of the awning. They lay flat and aren't very thick, so rolling them up in the awning does no damage.

Remember the day when you were cool if you had a coleman oil lantern as your
outside party light.

LED String Lights

I would love to have Philip's Hue lamp light bulbs, but boy, they're pricey.

From Coleman to smart bulbs, crazy!

Just make sure you TURN THEM OFF by 10PM. Not everyone likes the Las Vegas look in an RV Park....just sayin....:W.....Dennis

Agree with EXEC.

We'll be setting up in our "winter spot" next weekend. As mentioned, excellent time of year to buy xmas lights at any of the big box stores. Lowes has a remote controlled outdoor outlet that accepts 3 plugs, and the remote has 3 buttons on it, on for each circuit. Cost is about $10. I use that, but don't leave my awning out, so run them on poles and around the coach using small strips of gorilla tape.
Very easy to hit the buttons when we arrive, and to hit the buttons when we go to sleep. I usually set up one string that can be left on over night without bothering anyone.
Make sure you spend the extra dollar or two to buy the strings that are wired such that one bad bulb doesn't cause the whole string to fail.
