  • Recomendations for LED light strips for down lighting under trailer

    Hi all,
    Our 2018 Reflection didn't come with LED light strips on the undercarriage so I was wondering what is used either by GD or any recommendations from Amazon etc. Most seem to only be 20 ft or so and I want to go longer if possibe.

    Couldn't find what GD used on our rig. Do want to note that the strips are not continuous for the full length of rig. There are breaks at the wheels.

      Interesting because I am in the dark on this one. Need to do more research as some I’ve seen are on the frame rail as to project direct light onto ground. I’ve seen some that seem to be too high mounted higher under the gussets. Still figuring it out!

        I put these under mine this winter. Not long term tested but survived the trip from Florida back to Illinois. They're 120v, so they run off shore power or my inverter, but smartphone controlled so I can dim them and set them on a timer to automatically come on with the sunset and turn off when I want. I stuck them all around the rig right to the skirting.

          I went with a row of 10 "penny lights" down each side of the lower facia. This allows the lights along the slides to move in/out with the slide. See posts 5 and 10 of this thread. https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...-backup-lights These lights are 12V and I powered them from the existing similar light under the entry steps so I didn't have to add any interior wiring or switch.
