We went through this on our 2001 Journey DL in 2008. Got light fixtures from Camping World & PPL Motorhomes that fit exactly like our old ones. Just this spring we changed out the old bulbs to LED's. We also changed out 60+ exposed hinges (lucked out and found the exact ones at a discount cabinet shop so no re-drilling holes), many drawer pulls, a door handle & towel bars, etc. (Lowes), a bathroom faucet (ordered online), the shower enclosure (local shop for a good price). We ordered the recessed TP holder and a specialty towel rack for the bathroom door through Winnebago. There were some recessed drawer pulls that were really hard to find. Found them at The Knob Gallery online after many hours of google searches. And yes, we resorted to some satin nickel spray paint and even some satin nickel contact paper for a couple of minor things. We are not typically do-it-yourselfers, but managed the light fixtures and hardware ourselves. We also had a local RV shop change out the TV's and completely re-do the exterior. Just this spring, they replaced our carpet with vinyl tiles. We keep things a long time so it has been worth the money & effort. Good luck!
