We use them as our main lighting source. So on when we get up and off at night.

Basically, the only time they are off is when towing and sleeping.

We have turned our's on once I think and that was only to see what the extra switch was. I was on the Montana site and I heard today that they were put in at the request of us(The Owner's). Most requested Montana said.


Thank's again,

That is the only light we have on after dark. Indirect lighting and adequate intensity for watching TV or working on the computer or any other iDevice. Not good for reading but I read on a Kindle so not a problem. Ours don't have a switch, they are turned on/off through the inCommand.

I use mine all the time because I rewired them. I didn’t like the bright, bug attracting lights to come on when I opened the door so I switched it so the led’s in the crown molding come on when the door opens instead. I can also switch them on if I want them when the door is closed

We use them all the time too. I hate the glare from ceiling lights but the crown accent lights are perfect. I would not want to be without them.

Thanks again

we have 2016 montana 3790 and we use the mood lighting after dark quite often to offset turning on and off lights thruout the rig. They do supply enough lighting for general passage around the RV but for task lights, then we add either full lights, kitchen light, or etc etc. no use turning on and off what we don't need.

We use ours every day. The crown molding lights also lights up the kitchen drawers when opened. And around the edge of the island. The back lighting on the light fixtures is also a nice touch.

Got our new 3121RL out of the lot and maybe 10 miles down the road when the crown molding fell off. Was damaged in the fall so we need a replacement. That was March
2020. It's now June and we are still waiting for the replacement.

I use stainless steel staples. They are good and strong. Each staple is like shooting in 2 nails. They top of the staple holds the molding better. All you have to do is get a color fill pencil to hide the top of the staple. Good luck..
