one nice thing about LEDs... They don't turn the cupboard above them into an EasyBake Oven like the incandescents do when mounted under a cupboard.

Shopping at Camping World is like shopping anywhere else. BUY when there's a SALE. I just bought a 30' extension cord at Walmart. And could have gotten it cheaper at Camping World one block away... because it was on SALE (with President's Club card). Oh well.....

I replaced all the lights with LEDs in my Scamp and they are just as bright as the incandescent lights. I got them at LEDTrailerLights.com.

I just re-did my wiring and added a couple of led under cabinet strips under the side and front upper storage.

Steve---that's what my DH and I thought---it looked just as bright with the LEDs (I must have has some funky old lights!)

Justin--that looks great!

I guess if one replaced the whole fixture, you would have to find a new one that was exctly the same size, wouldn't you? And meticulously seal it with the ensolite again, to prevent moisture getting in? So, I'm in the process of painting the yellowed old light fixtures, and will try to replace just the bulbs. Just painted he yellowed old frames below the roof vents, and they turned out beautifully. Thanks!
