LED awning lights how would you......

Ok, hopefully this afternoon I'm going to be installing my awning lights. They are 16 feet long and I will be putting them under the awning/gutter rail. I'm trying to figure out the best way to run the electrical. I can run straight 12V to the control box, but I want to keep it out of the weather. Has anyone done this, what is the best method of running the electrical? I don't want to keep hooking and unhooking them when needed. Just push the remote and turn them on.

Anyone!

    I've read where some folks run the wire between the lights and the control box through the side of the trailer so the controller is left inside. If you locate the control box close to a source of 12V, the job becomes a lot easier.

    Alternatively, locating the control box inside a storage compartment would also be a good place.
