  • Adding LED Strip Lighting to the rear slide under the awning- Imagine 2970RL

    Looking for advice/suggestions for adding LED light strip to the rear slide on a 2021 - Imagine 2970RL. I am thinking that I could probably get power from the rear awning that I was planning on mounting it under, but needed help on routing the wiring to the control panel just inside the door- was going to put a dimmer in the extra switch plate on the control panel. Curious how others have handled the wire under the slide where it opens and closes (just leave slack under the cloroplast or other possibilities).

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    There should already be a wire loom, or group of wires , that are tied up under the slide that you could tape your new wires to so they are tied up in the same position. You will then have to get the new wires above the coroplast and up into the RV where the control panel is, that will be fun for sure. Please post some pics as you go as this surely would help others.

      I don't have my 2970RL yet. But my research suggests there is an existing hole in the heater area. I will lower cloroplast a bolt or 2, just enough to get pushrods thru. It will go from slide wire loom area over to under the heater. With any luck, I can somehow reach thru heater hole and grab the string attached to end of rod and pull thru. Now use that string as dragline to pull the wire thru from heater side. Now pull out enough to route thru the existing loom. This gets the wire in position on either end. Now trace the wire from awning motor back thru slide to see how it routes to underneath. This will be a challenge, but I think its worth trying.
