Our first light is right outside the bedroom next to the bath, I simply pulled the light down and spliced into the wires. The cool thing is the Compass still works as does the main ceiling light switch.
    This is awesome information! Thanks so much for sharing. It's a big help!

We taped into the wire on the first LED near the bedroom (Front of the Trailer) this is where the first LED wiring starts. Spliced this wireless switch in line and it worked perfectly. Now we have a wireless dimmer for our living room. I have not done this for the awning yet, next project

    So can you place this on the output side of the switch on the panel? I just ordered on but was thinking of trying it that way for the awning and ceiling lights.

    On the 2017 you might want to use the other dimmer switch many here have spoken about. Not sure how this switch on your rig.

    Thank you. I know this is 3 months old, but I was able to install dimmers in our new 315rlts following this thread.

    Easy way to do this is to use same kind of remote dimmer, wired into the awning light wire at the one connect.

    Thanks Riley, glad it worked, I would like to know more how you wired up the awning, not sure what you mean at the one connect?

    Here you go. On my trailer the One Connect board is located behind panel in curb side pass thru, first picture. Second picture is what it looks like. Third is a over view of the wires needed. The fourth and fifth is the grounds, the two with one small gray is the outlet ground. The three white with one gray is the inlet from the one connect. The yellow and gray is power from the one connect. The two brown with white stripe is the outlet to the awnings. It is hard to see the white stripe in the picture, there is a gray wire with the browns is the outlet to the awnings. On a side note this is where you could separate the awning lights if you wanted.

    Thanks Riley, this is AWESOME! this should also allow me to put a dimmer on our front cap lights. I really appreciate you taking the time to share the photos and explanation.
