We wanted to add some outside lighting to our truck camper but we didn’t want it to be invasive, meaning if we wanted to be able to remove it easily we could. So, Todd thought about it for a little bit, then he took to Amazon, because well, you can find almost anything on Amazon. He was able to find a neat, very inexpensive set of LED lighting that features multiple colors, multiple settings and bonus, a remote control to be able to control them.
This project cost us around $45 so, it’s relatively inexpensive. Here’s a link to the LED lights that we bought, they were $29.95 – https://amzn.to/2QrUUxD.
Here are the links to the gaff tape and adapter we also used:

Sometimes there are things that make you happy and this lighting makes me sooooo happy. When we posted our video about the installation, we got tons of negative comments by people who hate exterior lighting on campers because it bugs them when they’re camping. You know what, so what! I don’t care.
We installed this lighting because we wanted it and we like it so who cares if you like it or not. When I rent my camp spot at a campground, as long as I don’t audibly annoy someone, then who cares, right?
We did not buy this lighting because it flashes like a disco ball. We bought it because our camper is dark at night on the outside and we wanted it to add a bit of lighting for security so that we can see to get around the camper at night. We’ll be using it either on amber (which as a bonus amber keeps away the bugs) or we’ll use it on the blue which matches the awning over the door which came on the Northern Lite.
