LED strip light installation under awning

I drilled a small hole into the back of a cabinet, ran small wires inside, and filled the hole with silicon.

How about using a marine thru hull antenna/cable fitting?
It also comes in white.

I didn't want to drill a hole and fish wires, so I got a pig-tail adapter with a base that goes in the porch light socket to power the strip.

I installed strip on my first TC, bought them on Ebay. Silicone covered with a 3M double stick knock off tape backing. I got corrosion under the tape and then had trouble, couldn't get colors to work properly!

On my current TT I got similar strip, but it was inside a silicon tube. No problems so far. I sealed the ends with silicon caulk! I believe the extra cost was well worth it.

I did drill a hole 5/16" I think, pushed the connector through and used silicon caulk again. (It's under the awning so it is somewhat protected)

I had considered using the porch light to power mine, but I wanted to use the led strip without the porch light on. I drilled a hole thru the wall just under the awning/gutter rail near the door into an upper cabinet to grab power at the interior cieling/exterior light switch panel. Both the power supply and the ir remote eye are fed thru this hole so the remote control can be used outside. I cut a square of eternabond tape to cover the hole, while leaving the ir remote eye exposed. This works great, however, a seam in the awning/gutter rail 4 feet away drips and corrodes the “waterproof” strips and I have had to replace them almost yearly. The most recent replacement last spring I placed a square of eternabond tape over the light strip at the rail seam as a sort of drip cap and all is good so far.
Another option would be to run power down next to an awning support to the underside of the camper, then to either the main fuse panel or to the tongue(battery)

That’s actually a great idea I may use that.

Just make sure you don't put it to far up under the awning. The factory one that came with mine is useless when the awning is in.

Here is what I used:
1156 Wire Plug Adapter
My LED strip is now my patio light.

Edit: I should also add that I learned, when dealing with LED lights, polarity matters.

I like that idea a lot, can I ask how you transitioned into the lighting fixture? From the LED strip.

I drilled a hole thru the sidewall where a kitchen cabinet was on the inside. Added a switch and made my connections there.
