120v only lights in slide- convert to 12v?
Our 2005 Cougar 304BHS living room/dining slide ONLY has 120v lighting, one over the table and one over the couch. Boondock = no lights (!) I have a few questions about "fixing" it. 1. 120v only...

Our slide has a mix of 120v and 12v lamps. I found that running a CFL lamp in one 120v wall light as a reading lamp powered by inverter (whole house- shore power into inverter, converter switched off) caused a 1 DC amp draw on the batts. The 12v option drew 3 amps DC. The CFL gives more light too.
AFAIK you can get 120v LEDs now that go in 120v sockets, if you can't get CFLs anymore. I don't have any, so can't say how many DC amps one would draw via inverter compared with the CFL.
So you don't need any 12v in the slide for lights if you go 120v LED or CFL via inverter.
