Anyone hung Christmas LED lights around their van.


Trying to figure out away to hang Christmas tree LED lights around the van, The van is fiberglass composite sheeting. Tried the stick on hooks (tape), wont stick, polish must be ingrained in the glass, suction cups just slide down the walls. Maybe I have to Sika-flex some hooks in place. 

Any ideas ?

Possibly Slugs. Small round plastic pieces that will slip into the sail track you use for your annexe or the extra slot in a roll out awning. These things are used to slot into the track on a sailboat mast to slide the sail up and down the mast. They have loops that attach the sail to the slug which then slot into the track.

If I can find a site on the net I will post the address on this post.

This a an Australian site and pretty much any place that sell sailing stuff deal with Ronstan. Different diameters so would depend on your sail track slot.

Hope this helps

Thanks Yuglamron, was hopping someone would have an idea for attaching to the walls, besides tek screws. Good idea though.

Dougwe you've been on the turps again, Alf was an alien creature in a movie wasn't he? you mean elf, or elves. The green suite would have to be illuminated, or you wouldn't see it at night.

Yes about to get myself a brandy, had my heart checked out to-day, apparently still breathing, so I shall shout myself a double.

Gaffa tape. It sticks to pub carpet, so it's gotta stick to your van!

 Some velcro has an acidic adhesive and can leave a brown burn mark in the duco after removal.  In my case I tried some Black velcro from Clark Rubber to hang some things up, now I have these brown patches that won't clean off.

What about a rope over the top of the van and fix the cable to the rope on both sides .

Small cable ties through the various vents would do the job.

Larger cable ties for the awning roll.

Alligator clips on the aneexe if required.

assuming you are using low voltage Xmas lights. biggrin
