Boogie Lights Awning LED Lighting System

The newer 2016 model of our Passport 217 camper has an LED Awning light rather than a porch/patio amber light.  Our camper has the patio light which is really nice for when we are in a dark wooded campground to leave on at night in case we have to get back from BINGO or just relaxing by the fire.  The LED awning lights are sometimes a little bright at the campgrounds.

Enter the Boogie Lights LED Awning system.  These are available online and also on Amazon, isn't just about everything, and these have more options than a stock system.  These LEDs can change color, and have adjustable brightness, as well as sequences if you would like.  We planned to add these last year but things got in the way so I figured I would order them this year early before the season started so I would have some time to properly get them installed the way I wanted.  The instructions were very clear and even had many tips and tricks to help the installation go smoothly.  So,... grab a drink and watch below.

Pre-planning is always an important part of any project, even more so when looking to wire thru a camper walls and cabinetry.



The Installation begins with cleaning the camper well and then mounting the LED strip with 3M Adhesion promoter as well as high strength 3M tape.

I managed to even get some help on this project!  It is definitely a two person project to carefully clean the camper and also to support the LED.  You need to be sure it doesn't get twisted or kinked, as well as not to add tension to it when installing it.

Wire through the wall, with a slack loop.


Wiring things up inside took some time, but it turned out great and I'm very happy with it.  Here is a video of the installation path of the wires.
