Vital Accessories for RV Patio Lights
You can find the perfect set of RV patio lights to fit your needs. These lights come in a variety of styles, from globes to lamps to miniature RVs, and are easy to hang on your RV awning to create a patio atmosphere. But don’t drive to the middle of nowhere and realize you have to resort to misshapen paper clips to hang your RV patio lights; get the proper accessories and hang them right.
Awning Hook Ups
These P-shaped plastic hooks slide right over your awning rail and then support individual or strings of RV patio lights. Ringing up at 10 clips for $12 or so, these are affordable and easily replaced if something goes wrong. Depending on the density of your light string (or the number of lights you have), you may want to purchase an extra packet, as these are not the strongest option on the market.
Light Hangars
Similar to clothes hangars, light hangars feature little hooks that catch the strings of lights and support them via the awning rail. These are slightly more expensive than hooks, priced around $11 for 7 hangars, and it is recommended that two packets be purchased for rails longer than 17′.
Lantern Snaps
Lantern snaps look a lot like metal clothes pins and work in much the same way: they clip to both the awning rail and the string for your lights. These cost $10 for a packet of 4, but are sturdier than the above two options (so less need to be purchased).
Replacement Strings and Bulbs
Just as important as the way you hang your RV patio lights is the way you tend to them. Lights unexpectedly burn out, and without a replacement handy, it’s easy to roll it up with the RV at the end of the summer and forget about it. Keep a set of replacement bulbs and cords on hand at all times.
