Under belly rope lights

[viennafire21]

Anyone added rope lights under the outside edge of the camper, if so how did you do it. Thought about added some.

I did mine several summers ago. Works extremely well. The adhesive is really strong and sticks to the cloroplast and under frame rail really well. I did take extra measures to waterproof the transformer box. Very affordable off Amazon. I tend to use the blue/purple fades and they are most pleasing. Mine has brightness control which is good. I also turn them off, along with any other lights, when retiring for the night as they are distracting. I was able to hard wire a plug into my solar prep for power. I like to use them instead of the Awning LEDs, which are way too bright.

I have not seen any recent posts on the subject. I would guess 7-8 years ago there was a lot of posts on the subject.

If I was going to install it, I would use the heavy plastic PEX tubing clips. Replace the nails with screws.

I have a roll of rope lighting. I lay it on the ground about once a year.

I installed rock lights designed for off road use, blue tooth control and a bonus is they have tons of colors. They are mounted with screws and made out of metal. Controller is waterproof so no worries there. Did figure out something not something I like doing but when arriving late at night even with back-up lights on trailer still hard to see site side turn on lights turn them to white and I can see site on both sides makes it a ton easier.

Not rope lights, but I added a set of these from Amazon, cleaned the corroplast right down the center with alcohol and added clear gorilla tape every 3ft as insurance. Ran 1 to front and 1 to rear. They worked great for about 2 months then both of the ends stopped working 6' from the center. I haven't been underneath yet to check them but I suspect poor solder connections where they are spliced inside broke loose.
