NOT so, most RV will have both DC and AC lighting. My first two had Gas lights, 12 volt DC 110 AC.
Not so!
Most are 100% 12 volt now. Only light that would be 110 would be on a 110 ceiling fan.
And the light under a microwave.
Whatever, there seems to be a lack of understanding of what does what & the difference between the DC systems & AC systems.
Whatever the mix on lights (mine are all 12 volt) don't forget that many refrigerators and furnaces also need 12 volts. My refrigerator control board uses 12 volt even when running on shore power or propane, and my furnace control board also uses 12 volts. So if your 12 volt lights are getting dim you may start having problems with heat and the refrigerator.
