Preparation
Custom Sizing of the LED Light Strip
There are two available sizes for the awning fabric LED light
strip kit. If the awning width, measuring the awning fabric
edge-to-edge, measures 10’ - 15’ the 15’ LED light strip
kit should be used. If the awning fabric measures 16’ - 21’
the 21’ awning LED light kit should be used. To achieve a
custom size, the LED light strip can be cut along the black
line at the nearest copper cut tab (Fig.1A).
NOTE: If cutting the LED light strip is required, it is very
important to cut only on the given cut line between the
copper cut tabs (Fig.1A). Cutting through or before the
copper cut tabs will result in no electrical conductivity to
the following section.
1. At the closest applicable length needed, usually the
width of the awning fabric, measure from the wired side out.
2. Cut the excess light strip from the opposite side of
the wiring on the LED light strip. Use a pair of sharp
scissors to cut the LED light strip directly down the
given cut line (Fig.1A).
3. Seal the LED light strip cut end with a dab of silicone
along the edge and let dry.

Installation
LED Light Strip
NOTE: Awning MUST be extended to access the polycord
on the awning fabric and to run the LED power wire down
the drive mount arm.
1. Starting on the drive side of the awning, slide the LED
light strip (non-wired end) (Fig.3A) onto the polycord of
the awning fabric (Fig.3B), located close to the awning rail
(Fig.3C) down the width of the awning fabric to the end,
towards the idler side.
2. Flip the LED light strip drive side (wired end) up to see the
back side of the light strip.
3. Install a #10 - 16 x 3/8” pan head screw (Fig.4A) into the
black plastic track of the LED light strip. Make sure to install
the screw at a slight angle in between the LED light strip and
the polycord in the awning fabric, to prevent the LED light
strip from sliding o󰀨 the awning fabric polycord.

Removing the Old LED Light Strip
NOTE: Awning MUST be extended to access the polycord
on the awning fabric and the LED power wires down the
drive mount arm.
1. If replacing only the LED light strip, remove the old LED
light strip by locating and removing the #10 - 16 x 3/8” pan
head screw (Fig.2A) located on the drive side, in the back of
the LED light strip, holding the LED light strip in place.

2. Cut the wires to the old LED light strip just inside the
wall of the unit. The wires to the new LED light strip can be
spliced into the old wires rather than replacing all the wiring
to the switch and power source and replacing the switch.
3. Remove the old LED light strip by sliding the LED light
strip completely out from the awning fabric polycord.
NOTE: If the light switch needs to be replaced as well,
remove the two #8 x 1” pan head screws in the light switch
plate (Fig.5B). Remove the light switch, plate and disconnect
the wiring to the LED light strip and the power source.

LED Light Switch Installation
1. Determine where to mount the LED light switch. The
LED light switch can be mounted anywhere inside the
trailer or trailer compartment. The mounting location must
be watertight. The typical location for the LED light switch
is near the entry door, close to where the wires from the
LED light strip enter inside the unit wall.
2. Cut a hole in the wall or wall of the compartment using
the inside opening of the switch plate as a guide (Fig.6D).
Use the switch plate to trace where the cutout should be
located. The top and bottom horizontal cuts should be
parallel.
3. Place the light switch (Fig.6C) into the switch plate (Fig.6A).
NOTE: Make sure the switch is oriented correctly with the on
position (vertical line) located at the top of the switch.
4. Located on the backside of the light switch, insert the
LED light strip wires onto the proper spade. Red wire is
positive, black wire is negative.
5. Connect the LED red power wire to the unit’s power
source. Make sure the black wire is connected to a ground
and the red wire is connected to 12V DC power source
6. Connect the 3A fuse to protect all wiring going to the
light, that meets or exceeds RVIA standards. See the
Wiring Diagram section.
7. Test the light switch to make sure the LED light strip is
wired properly.
8. Secure the switch plate onto the unit wall with the two
provided #8 x 1” pan head screws (Fig.6B).

Fig.6
NOTE: Make sure the screw does not completely go through
the polycord and into the awning fabric. Make sure that the
LED light strip is hanging straight, parallel to the ground.
4. Depending on top wire or bottom wire installation,
remove the wire covers in the drive side mount arm.
5. If bottom installation, take the LED light strip power wire
(Fig.5A) from the light track and run it down the drive arm.
Make sure to run the wires over the center pin of the drive
mount arm. If top installation, run the wires through the top
hole in the drive side mount arm (Fig.5B) inside the unit wall
and down to the switch.
NOTE: If completing an entirely new installation, proceed
to the LED Light Switch Installation
6. Splice the new LED light strip power wires onto the old
wires just inside the unit’s wall.
NOTE: Make sure the red wire is to power and the black
wire is to ground.
7. Test the light switch to make sure the LED light strip is
wired properly.
8. Reinstall wire covers in the drive mount arm.
