I appreciate the value of nice RV patio lighting especially at night when I'm playing cards with friend and family. I literally feel like I'm sitting on my backyard porch taking in the night air. RV patio lighting should not only be functional (bad light is not worth it), it should create the type of ambiance, the type of feel you want-festive, relaxing, bright, whatever.
Make sure your RV patio lighting provide plenty of illumination or have the ability to provide plenty of illumination. Otherwise, what's the point? Often times, and I am guilty of this, we sacrifice function for style. Fortunately, there are products out there on the market that look great and work well. Lighting gives you an easy opportunity to transform your RV into a venue, a place to play and/or relax.
Early RVers Dream of RV Patio Lighting
Following World War II, the RV industry boomed (and so did babies) as Americans headed out on to the open road. Americans were marrying their high school sweethearts, buying homes, investing their money, having babies, and traveling across the country. From miniature do-it-yourself kits to lavish models 29-feet long, these "travel trailers" were truly recognized as Recreational Vehicles by 1950.
I treat my rig a little like a friend, better yet, a child. Children need nourishment, love, attention, and, let's face it, material things. The more you provide, typically the better the child performs-in school, in athletics, in the arts, with his/her chores, etc. The same goes for your RV-the better you treat it, the better it will perform. In addition, it will last longer and serve your needs for as long as you need it to.
