I had one like that, not sure the same as yours, that I could not budge. I pulled down on the fixture, watch out for the spring loaded clips that hold it in place, and was able to get a better grip on the cover. You can also buy the whole LED fixture fairly cheap.

Bob - In my Greyhawk 29KS, even that outlet was disabled while the engine was cranked. Useless.
Huumm, guess I never tried to turn the tv on while the engine was running. I have had to run the engine when the coach battery was low. Needed the engine running in order to start the genset.

- suprzExplorerBrought her home and immediately took out the old CRT television and replaced it with a 32inch led TV and put a second one in the bedroom. Just getting rid of that old tv probably got rid of 50 pounds!
- woodworker414ExplorerHi OFDPOS. When I rplaced the TL's, the turn signals flash really fast. The parts house said I needed a heavey duty turn signal element. Put that in and still fast. But. when the toad is hooked up, normal flasn. So I have just left it like that. No biggie.
Besides the coach will be replaced probably with in a year.

Safe Travels. - OFDPOSExplorerThanks Woodworker414 ,
Yeah the previous owner thought all you do is pay up front (purchase price ) then its suppose to look and keep clean like it was when he bought it.
He showed me the paperwork for what he paid for it in 2010?.
He paid $32K (ouch), he was asking $25K I wound up paying him $14K for it.
I just walked around it with him and showed him all the stuff he had neglected to take care of or even do normal maintenance on !
In the whole time he had it , he said he had never been on the roof and was asking me why I was climbing up on the roof when I was first looking at?
The very basics he had done , oil changes, filters etc, and on Gen as well.
He had the receipts on those. But the places took him for what they could get too !
The bones of the MH was/is in good shape, it just needed a thorough cleaning buffing/polishing wax outside , along with cleaning up all the sealant stuff that had oozed out around everything and was all crusty/black.
And the inside cleaned from top to bottom.
Carpet cleaned, new mattress for the corner bed , check and tighten up all loose screws etc on everything !
When we test drove it it had so many rattles etc , now that I've gone through and found alot of loose and or missing screws etc and tightened and replace things.
Even just by putting those small little bumpers on the inside of the cabinets has quieted alot of rattles. :)
By replacing the tires all the way around and new shocks front and rear , that alone did alot to quiet down the rattles ! lol
Its coming along nice.
I was told by a few that if you only replace the rear tail-lites /turnsignal combos with LEDs and leave the front ones alone it will work fine , but if you do both , you have to put in a resister or ? so the TS's will work ? - woodworker414ExplorerOFDPOS, you certainly have been busy. I replaced my rear taillights a couple of years ago with LED's. What difference.
Life is a trip, ENJOY the ride.
Safe Travels. - OFDPOSExplorerLast time replaced all the inside 1141 bulbs with LEDs 18 in all got them off ebay for $33. for 20.
This go around I've started to replace all the outside running lights with LEDs put in a rear view camera in the middle rear light so replaced the other 4 up top with the LED kit, found them online for $3.39 each. CW and most other places wanted $7.99 to 10.99 each.
So far replaced the 4 up top on rear and rear side markers (red)
All 5 up front top (amber).
I also cleaned up around the light housings and put a fresh bead of silicon around them !
Next will be the rear brake/turnsignals lights with LEDs - OldRadiosExplorerStarted it up for the first time since last fall and backed it out of the garage. Time for it's Spring cleaning.
