Holiday light

Hi everyone!

Thinking about the upcoming holidays and decorating. I brought along a string of icicle lights and am trying to figure out how to hang them.

We have a class A and I would like to hang them in the front window. I bought some suction cups, but those won't stay up, even before hanging the lights.

Guessing the temperature fluctuations, hot during the day with the sun beating I. The window, and cold at night, will make a difference.

Do command strip hangers hold up?

What have you tried? What works for you?

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
  • Expandable spring loaded shower rod will fit most MH windows up under the valance out of sight,if you have them. Bag of small zip strips to hold your lights and you are good to go and what is nice is the outlet is usually right there too.

    I found out about the tension shower rod when I had to send out my day/night shades to be repaired and needed some sort of curtains until I got them back!

    I picked up one of those flat Christmas light decorations for the back window of my first MH. They fit right behind the day/night shades and I leave it on while running down the road!
  • A few years back we bought some lights that cover the whole one piece windshield. We use suction cups and the lights are mounted on the inside of the coach, that way the temperature will be nice and warm. It really catches the eye to many and they look nice. Wife also decorates the interior of the coach with all kinds of Christmas decorations, two Santa beanies, one for each mirror.

    Some do not like to decorate, but to each his own.
  • Not sure if you can make these work, but they work great to hang a strand or two of lights from the awning. They are ID Badge Clips.

    EDIT...tried to post a link to a picture, but it didn't work. Just Google ID Badge Clips. You can get a pack of 20 or more for close to nothing.
