Given that RVs come with the cheapest products available, it's likely converter voltage fluctuations are to blame.

And given that, the fixtures might be designed to NOT be opened for bulb replacement. Bulb failure=new fixture.

Problem is, however, that the theoretical average lifespan for an LED device has two problems: first it is an average and second the calculations seem to be off by quite a bit. Maybe the manufacturing process isn't as good as they think.

As you drive around, take notice of how many individual elements in LED traffic lights have failed, well before their advertised/predicted expiration.

Don't do that.....you might damage other parts of that beautiful camper. Instead, use a three inch drill bit, and make a hole to get to the bulb !!!

If your ceiling light fixtures look like these shown here all you do is squeeze-in close to the center where the switch is located and then move the plastic lens out to the outside...

You can sort of see the slot inside the lens that is holding it in place in this goggle photo... Once you move it about an inch to the outside it should fall into your hand...

This is how my ceiling light lens work at any rate...
