mounting strip lighting?
I have seen many MH's with strip lighting mounted under them. I want to do this for ambient light in camp and as rodent deterrent while coach is parked. My question is how are those with this type ...

Using strip lighting as a rodent deterrent is an old wives tale.
Looking for any solution to the pack rat problem. we live in a very rural area with dense, unkempt property on all sides. In 6 months I have had pack rats start nests twice on my new to me motorhome. My research recommended lighting as one prong in the attack on pack rat problems. If you have info that debunks that I am interested. Also interested in any input on preventing pack rat damage.

Ambient light is nice to have in the campground, but only while you're UP...:W...flashing lights, spot lights, scare lights etc are a irritant and a bore to many other campers, especially if left on all night.
One of the down sides to this site. I posted in Projects and Upgrades looking for an answer to a specific question/problem. Didn't need an education on light etiquette. Never have and never would subject my neighbors to unreasonable light pollution. Guess the info is there for those who might need it.

That said, I have a series of LED lights under my step that I leave on if we are on a walk. I used two sided tape and some zip ties to hold them in place. I've never had them drop off. Keep in mind that any lights secured to the bottom of the coach are going to be subjected to some pretty harsh conditions. Plan on replacing many of them each year depending on the use of the coach....Dennis
Wasn't sure how people do it, just seems that some people have made it work. Hopefully one of them will post how they did it.
