I want to install LED strip lights at the top of my passenger side slide and under the slide. I am installing a Wi-Fi enabled controller/power module What is the best way to get 12v power to it?

Has anyone done this?

Is there an awning there?

Do you have an external TV?

I put Boogey lights under the slide toppers (all 3) and under slides.

External TV bay makes it easier as it gives you a path into the coach behind the sink then down the flex track into the basement.

How do you get the wire into the external TV area from the outside of the slide?

Drill a hole from a corner inside the TV compartment down.

Hey Neal, so you have strip lights just under your slide topper attached to the slide wall, did you run the wire down the left side by the TV? Did you run a separate power feed to the distribution box in the bay under the drivers seat?

Do you have any oics?

I attached the lights to the bottom of the slide topper and not on the paint surface of the coach. I ran the wire down the aft side of the slide then up in to the TV bay then into the coach and below the kitchen to the basement. I ran power from the cord reel bay in the fuse panel on the back wall in that bay. The light controllers are in the basement forward of the pegboard bay. Yep. It’s a lot of work but very functional lighting.
