Awning Light

[Rey&Reina]

I have a 2018 Windsport 31s and I finally found out the phantom switch next to the door is supposed to be an awning light. Now that I found out what it goes to, I need to figure out why it does't work. I am getting power at the switch and I am getting power at the plug in the picture but I cannot find any lights. I am the second owner and I am wondering if the lights were removed? I believe the lights are supposed to on the end of awning so I included the second picture is of the channel on the end. Does anyone have a similar set up?


Thanks in advance for any assistance.

My led awning lights are located on the under side of my awning and can light up with the awning extended or rolled up to provide some light outside at night. You can look at your build sheet to see what model awning you have and check with that manufacture to determine if it came with lights or not. The build sheet will list the various company supplied items used in the build of your coach. My build sheet in attached to the closet inside wall.

You have a Carefree of Colorado Latitude patio awning. The operation manual should be on your Thor package, if not you can down load it form the website. Here the the manual's quote:
White (monotone) LEDs are a popular option providing
lighting beneath the awning. Factory installed LEDs are
located on the roller tube or at the awning rail.
To operate the White LED lights, press the LED
power switch ON.

Please note: if the LED are on when the awning is stored they will overheat and burnout in about 10 minutes. Replacement LED strip cost is about $80 retail, but can often be found on E-Bay or Amazon.

That looks like the setup on my Hurricane 29M. The LED light strip was sewn into a holder on the awning. The thread holding it in place deteriorated to the point that it fell off going down the road. I replaced it with a new strip light kit from Recpro that was around $45.00. The new kit had a holder that attached to the body of the coach using 3M tape. The LED strip fits snuggly in the holder and is secured with more 3M tape. I did have to solder the connector from the remnants of the old light strip. Not to hard to fix.
