If you're wanting to add on led strip lights to the exterior of your RV then you'll want to choose one that's weatherproof and rated to withstand weather, like the Optronics Flexible LED Light Strip # UCL90CB. These light strips come with a peel and stick backing that would should hold up to the outdoors but can always be replaced with a heavier-duty adhesive if you have any issues.

@Ben You'll want to pick up some double sided 3M VHB tape from your local hardware store to secure the Optronics Flexible LED Light Strip # UCL90CB if the adhesive from the factory isn't enough to keep it mounted to the trailer wall.

@KevinC what is the ip rating for these optronics flexible led light strip. Can these also be installed under the awning extrusion on the side of an Rv. An do you have to order a plastic channel to put the light strip in in order for it to be more water proof. Just didn’t know if the lights were a IP68 rating.
