I don't do awning lights because it would require a stepstool/ladder every time to put them up and then take them down.  Awnings on most motorhomes are different than those on the TTs that I see.  With a TT awning, before you extend the arms, the awning roller is only about 4-5' off the ground.  My awning is never less than about 8' off the ground, so very difficult to reach.  I've used stepstools, moved picnic tables, etc., now I use a light pole or some other method.
