RV Lighting

Finding the right RV lighting section

RV lighting isn't one shopping trip — an interior dome light and a rear tail lamp have almost nothing in common beyond the 12-volt feed. Sort yourself into the right category first and the specifics get simple.

• Interior LED Lights. Ceiling domes, under-cabinet strips, down lights, and remote-controlled fixtures for the living space — the LED upgrades that cut your amp draw at the panel.
• Porch & Exterior Lights. Clearance and side-marker lamps, stop/turn/tail lights, license plate lamps, and porch lights, most of them sealed and submersible for life outside.
• Reading & Task Lights. Bunk lights, fan-and-light combos, and rechargeable headlamps for the jobs a ceiling fixture can't reach.
• Replacement Bulbs. 1156 bayonet, 921 wedge, and G4 pin bulbs, plus the snap-in lenses for Peterson trailer lights when the plastic clouds or cracks.

If you're chasing a light that won't come on, start at the bulb, then the fuse, then the ground. A lot of "dead" fixtures are just a corroded connection, and swapping to LED across the rig is one of the cheapest ways to stretch a night on the batteries.
