I'm still undecided on the location of where to mount it. I see benefits (and cons) of both sides.
Under the awning on the side of the RV:
Pros - Can use whether awning is deployed or not.
Neater appearance
Cons - Lights blinding when walking up to the unit, pointing at you
Short plug in connection dangling when driving
On the awning itself:
Pros - Gives the patio area a glow from afar, rather than seeing actual LED strip.
No chance of it blowing off when going down the highway since it's rolled up
Cons - Not as neat looking with power cord going to it
Awning has to be deployed to use it
I have a few days before my strip arrives to finalize the placement.
