If you're using the LED lights off amazon that come from 'overseas', I've heard several people say that the tape supplied with the strip doesn't hold very well.
As a workaround, I've heard people using black silicone to hold the strip in place, but when all else fails, there's always 3M VHB tape.

I then put contact cement on the string and the surface and it's been up for a few months now. On the motorhome, I put on a strip of real 3M VHB ( I doubt the stuff from China is really 3M) and it has held up on the motorhome for a couple of months now.
