    Perfect! Thank you! I wanna pimp my lil camper with some rock lights and this is what I needed. I wasn’t exactly sure how to go about powering it. The question I have is how do they turn off once they are wired hot? Does your app turn them on and off through the controller?

    • @chriswinnek7200
      @chriswinnek7200  5 років тому +2

      Thanks for watching! The holes are not going to be a problem as far as compromising the structure of the frame. The self tapping screws are pretty quick and very durable. I think the tape would work initially, but I would be surprised if it lasted more than a year or so. Let me know how it holds up!

    @billyburnette6132 4 роки тому

    I’m curious, where did you have to place the extensions? Is it to connect the 4 from the other side to make the run across the camper or was it between lights on the side? I have a 19 foot camper. I want the 4 on each side also. Just curious how many extensions I should get. Thanks. Great video.

    • @chriswinnek7200
      @chriswinnek7200  4 роки тому

      You may only need two. One for the drivers side rear and drivers side forward if you place the controller on the passenger side middle. With a 19’ trailer you may be good without the extensions. They are not expensive $12 I think. Better safe than sorry! Or wait and see and order them later. Let me know how it turns out!

  • @officialbrookes
    @officialbrookes 5 років тому

    Awesome job! Well explained! What size L brackets did you use that hold the lights to the trailer? Also were the L brackets pre drilled with the correct spacing to hold the lights or did you have to drill them yourself? If they were predrilled where did you buy them?

    • @chriswinnek7200
      @chriswinnek7200  5 років тому

      The brackets were predrilled and located near the hardware section in Home Depot.

  • @johnhannon2676
    @johnhannon2676 4 роки тому

    Is drilling through the frame and hitting a gray, black or freshwater tank not a concern? I have no clue how they are actually positioned in the frame and like yours, mine are covered.

    • @chriswinnek7200
      @chriswinnek7200  4 роки тому

      Your black tank is usually located right underneath your toilet and near your sewer discharge outlet. If you use the 3/4" self taping bolts like in the video, you will be fine. If you want to make sure just unscrew your liner in a few spots near your sewer outlet and take a look at your tank locations.

  • @ramzy1013
    @ramzy1013 5 років тому +1

    I was under the assumption to never drill through the frame of any vehicle. That it could void your warranty also could cause the structural integrity of the frame to be jeaprodized ...

    • @usmc2msu213

    • @chriswinnek7200
      @chriswinnek7200  6 років тому

      Brandon Foster I just played around with them until it aligned with a good looking spot. I believe they were about 3-4 feet from the trailer edge and about 6 ft apart in the middle. Honestly the light puts out so much glow it ips pretty forgiving of all of the crap under the trailer. Just make sure they are evenly spaced apart from each other. This will make it look like a professional job.
