LED Bulbs
I am on the hunt for LED bulbs, specifically 1141 and 1383 types. I do not want to rewire the fixtures but to use the bulbs in existing fixtures. I have been looking online and am somewhat frustrated....

We're not talking 110V bulbs with built-in power sources the OP is looking for 12V bulbs like 1156 base - no power supply. These are DC, LED bulbs so there is NO interference with anything electrical.
Amazon - there is a company that has 20 pieces for $18.99. They are WARM WHITE color which is preferred as you don't want that blue cast inside at night.
I purchased mine a couple of years ago and they are great, nice light, cool to the touch, and none have failed (I'd doubt they will fail for the life of the camper, at least they will last a darn site longer than the old filament bulbs). All of the LED lights on draws about as much as one of the old lights.

You do know that LED's don't run off 12V? Or don't you know that there is a voltage regulator in the base of every "12V" LED bulb.
None of them are made by wiring a series of LEDs in series (OK, I have some I've personally made)
A few use resistors, but most use DCtoDC regulators and some of those make RF noise.
