Recreational Vehicles
Recreational vehicles were perhaps the first vehicles to display decorative lighting. While stationary and hooked to mains electricity at a campground, RVs often display festive lighting. This was often strings tiki or other Hawaiian-style decorations, or plastic lanterns, lit from the inside by screw-in Christmas lights. Various miniature lights in non-holiday styles (or patriotic themes for U.S. Independence Day in the summer) are made, and are often now used on patios in the same way. Boats can also be decorated in this way, and some "parades" are actually boats on the water, lit with strings of lights.

Famous quotes containing the word vehicles:
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
