Thanks for all the ideas and thoughts. Like the idea of using tinted Lexan. How to just get them made.

Does anyone know if these are made / sold or would you have to make your own. Would like to put inserts in screen door so we will not have to close exterior door to keep cool air in. Sure would be nice to see out, keep air in, and let light in.

Thanks for all the replies and ideas. Now the hard part, fixing it. Suppose to work on it Sept. 16. Will let you know what we do to fix it.

Thanks, porthole. Do you take the lights and track down when you travel?

lizjj, What type of backup camera did you get?

Thanks for your reply, Bobby. After doing more research on here and other forums, I have seen where people mount them on travel trailer just below the awning. This may be a better way just have to be sure that they are attached good for traveling.

Want to put rope light on our 18' power awning. The kits come with a track to slide slot in awning and mount rope light. Would it be OK to roll awning up with rope light when a storm comes up? I'm sure one would need to take them down to travel. We need a ladder to attach the light to awning...
