Your 95 Bounder 35(?) is actually a 35U. Unique design. Opera windows, "L" couch and 60 gallon water tank in the very rear compartment. Exhibit caution when loading. Running with the water tank full (500 lbs.) will over load the 11,000 lb. rear axle.
I suggest you use the 193 bulb for your marker/clearance lights.
193 draws 0.33 amps and the 194 bulb draws 0.56 amps. No need to generate excess heat on all that plastic.
Also, you interior lights are 1141 & 1142, depending on weather they are single or dual contact on the base. Do not replace those 1141 bulbs with 1156 bulbs or you will melt plastic. Same with the 1142, stay with the same part #. There are a few of us Bounder owners that have learn the hard way. GRIN
Better yet, think LEDs

Richard,
You'll have to see my post on the toilet thread, but I think mine is the 34'6" unit (based on looking up units on NADA) even through the state and my insurance say it is a 35 based on VIN. My interior isn't like the one in the video you showed but that is a cool interior for a pre-slideout RV.
Anyway, I appreciate the feedback on the lights. Makes it a bit easier for me to just pop out and pick up what is needed and get down to work. Previous owner started to swap out the interior incandescent bulbs with LEDs that were a direct fit. Gave me a whole Ziplock bag full of incandescent bulbs he had pulled as spares. But how often do those LED direct fit bulbs really fail?
