The rig I got seems to burn out bulbs often. What you stated above is the obvious solution which I already did last year. That box of bulbs has burned out.
In that case you should really get a meter and see what voltage your converter is putting out. If your converter is putting out voltage that is too high or too low, it will burn bulbs out quickly, and LEDs won't last long in that environment either. If you went through a whole box it doesn't sound like the bulbs are the problem. Is this all fixtures or just one or a few?
Sorry I misunderstood your post. Most folks, myself included, switch to LEDs for the low power consumption when boondocking. In all the years before switching to LEDs I never had one bulb burn out, much less a whole box of them, so there is something else going on.
