Interior halogen bulbs
My coach has ceiling lites that are pin-type and are burning out. I can't seem to see what wattage they are. It is a 2011 Winney Adventurer. Any info on the wattage and product number is?

If they are the "pin" type and not a "wedge" then they are most likely a "G4" pin base. G4 size is the standard for 12V bulbs since there are 120V pin types you can not interchange 120V and 12V bulbs.
As for what is in your fixtures, can't help much there other than to take an existing working bulb and use a ammeter to read the current draw. A 10W bulb should draw 1.1A or so and 20W bulb should be 2.2A or so.
Alternately you could try a new 10W bulb and see if the brightness is same as other existing bulbs, if not as bright then 20W is what you need.
As far as folks saying these halogens are expensive, you are not shopping in the right places. I have found them at Home Depot and Lowes retail around $1.50 each and Internet they can be had for $.60 each or less...
