Planning an awesome camping trip over Christmas and would like suggestions and ideas for decorating the T@B to celebrate the Holiday. Will have 110V, but will be in freezing temperatures.  Looking for 12V items that can be used while boondocking.

    Hi Tabaz-

    May I ask where you're going? We are planning a trip to Jekyll Island in January. Are we nuts?! haha.  Thanksgiving we were up on a mountain top in Alabama.  Here's a pic of our Tab 400 BD decorated with 12 V tiny teardrop LEDs. We used mini command hooks and leave the hooks permanently on the exterior. They're clear hooks so you don't notice them, and they stay on when towing, no problem. 

    Not sure if this is where I got them, or if it was Target or home depot but I think this is it https://www.amazon.com/Command-Hooks-Value-18-Hooks-17006CLR-18ES/dp/B0084M67P8 

    One string of these lights fit perfectly all the way around the exterior as you can see from my pic.  The light string has a clear extension cord we ran through the doorway plugged into the 12 v at the sink.  It could not have been easier. We do take them down when moving.  We got ours on Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JK869Z6
    they have a remote controlled one too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JK8QDYX

    I'm thinking about stringing another set on my truck, the cord will plug into the cig lighter, and create Christmas cheer on the road-maybe using velcro straps to secure them to the roof rack.

    Have a great trip! Looking forward to hearing about your trip and seeing your awesome Xmas decos!

    Perfect - Just what I was looking for! I'll put one string on the driver side and another on the XL Visor.  Now to find a 15 foot tall inflatable Santa . . .

    I know they make string lights that are battery operated as well, so you don't need to draw off your vehicle or trailer battery.

    Update: 
    We told friends of ours who boondock in all kinds of conditions about these Amazon lights.   They got creative and hung several in the woods for ambient lighting around where they're making food far away from the camper due to bears!  They liked 'em because the USB plug fit into their portable cell phone charger, and LEDs draw so little power, we ran 'em late into the night as we sat around the fire.
