Hi all,

I'm looking for some lights to go in our caravan and I've found these on eBay. I think I read somewhere that other people have used these and just wondered if anyone had used this seller before?

Out awning is a full-size and I think about 5.5m x 2m or so. Do you think we would need the string of 6 lights or would 4 lights be enough?

Also, I presume I won't be able to hang them from the side poles but I don't want them all the the middle so I was going to tie some string between the poles and hand them there. Has anyone else done this?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin I've not tried these lights but they look nice. Last year I attached fairy lights to our porch awning. We plugged them in the outside socket on the caravan. We were on a seasonal pitch and as it was in October, it got dark early. The pitches were unlit. It was nice to see the awning all lit up when we were walking back from the pub!It also was good for our daughter to see the caravan from a distance when she was out playing. We secured them with cable ties as the weather was wild some nights.

Hi Kevin,

I have the 6 light string of these lights and they are very long.

I  have a Trio King awning and i have a light in each of the 6 corners. They are nice and bright.

I think you will find that the 4 string is long enough for you. They come with an elasticated band so that you can put the band round a pole and each light has a moulded hook to go through the elastic.

That`s a good price as well.

Pete.
