I really like your lights Zeppe. They look like they would light up your campsite without lighting the entire world. So do your lights plug into outlet, or have you wired them in somehow. Also please tell me which LEDs you ordered, since searching for LED on Amazon gives you way too many responses to try to sort through.

Thanks All,

Yeah they were great this weekend. I got a lot of great comments from passers by. Unfortunately the camper next me, liked the area enough to intrude on my campsite most of the weekend with her car, so a picture would be worthless.

As far as the lights:

I am very pleased, although I would, if I could, mount them up a little higher.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe, instead of the bent washers to clamp to the frame, one could drill the frame rail up through the lower edge, then mount the (bent) eye-bolt vertically through the hole with a nut on either side of the frame rail. Adjust as high as you want up to the sub-floor.

As an engineer I would not recommend drilling the bottom flange. You want all the strength that you can get. If you were set on that idea that middle of the web would be your best option, but I would not recommend modifying your frame.

I also have another MOD that I have hidden up there, that I will share later, so it was my best option in my case.

Thanks for the ideas.
