First the LED's are not FLO's but fit the same place.
RV-LED strips are made that fit in the fluorescent fixtures. But usually they require you to re-wire since they do not use the "12 volt ballast" (Really an inverter) but are powered direct by the 12 volts. I mean why waste power converting up and down when you can run it direct.
I've converted all muy Flo's to LED but I did it differently. I got some LED strips from Amazon (5 meter long strip less than 10 bucks) sliced it up to the proper length and soldered on jumpers and feeders. Gutted the Flo fixture (no need for the electronics) more light less amps.
