Being able to see in the dark is really nice; and when all you need is a small amount of light to find your way around your camper shell, recycling ornamental/holiday LED lights might just suit your needs!

Solar-Powered ornamental lights (usually found at the Holiday or Garden section of your nearest Dept. store), wire clamps, zip ties.

1) Use the existing window screws to attach your wire holders in place.
2) Zip ties hold your LEDs onto the wire holders; the perimeter of your camper windows act like a readily available track for your (ambient) lighting system.
3) I used a small magnetic basket to hold the solar panel of my LEDs. This model recharges its batteries in the sun, and goes on automatically in the dark (unless I turn the unit OFF).
