i second most of the above - if close to another trailer, please turn them off --- if no one is too close or around, do as you wish.
happy camping!

I think they provide a measure of scurity around my trailer so I leave them on. I'm curious what others out there do. Well now that you got your answer, I hope you will be turning the lights off tonight they are keeping be awake. LOL We turn them off before we go to bed.

I shut them off when I go in for the night. Otherwise, the light shines through the glass in the bedroom door and keeps me awake. I figured that it would probably bother the neighbors as well, so I say "turn'em off".

I just use the rope lights and I have a timer, it senses when it's getting dark and I can select how many hours for them to stay on. I have it set at 4 hours.

Well if you like bugs leave them on. I never was "bugged" by people leaving them on but now with energy crisis it mike make sense to turn them off. I rigged a interior switch to the outside plug so once inside I can just flip a switch. Then again with people stealing Propane tanks it might make sense to have some outside lights on when you are not at your camper. Talked to a dealer that lost a bunch of propane tanks, never before had he been ripped off like this. Must be a new generation of idiots and desperate types.

I turn mine off @ bedtime. I have a wireless remote switch so I can turn them back on if needed. Purchased switch in Christmas decorations section. It was marked down to $5.
