Era forum? Reading Lamps will not turn on.

Is there an Era forum anywhere? I am a newbie and I would like to gain greater insight into the Era's functions.
My Era's rear reading lamps (one on each side) have both stopped working (I guess simultaneously). Sounds like a fuse problem to me; or rodent problem. I went to the Winnebago wiring diagram and I don't see any wires routed to these lamps (which are designated as READ-5 on the wiring diagram). Well, I detached it from the wall and it does have wires (12v) running to it. I can't see how to remove the lamp bulb. The vehicle's manuals discuss everything except these lamps. My dealer is over a thousand miles away so I am reluctant to visit them. It sure would have been nice to have found on the wiring diagram where they are fused. I'm frustrated (read, pissed). I hope I can screw the light back to the wall.
And with there only being 2 Era's you would think they could have separate manuals for each model. And downloadable to an iPad too. grrr
  • Hi newBera, go to www.sprinter-source.com, to the forum under the Class B,Winnebago links. You will find lots of folks who have Eras to ask your questions. Good Luck.
  • I won't say for sure, but often there is a second switch for some lamps. I can turn on my reading lights either where they are, but if I forget to shut them off I have a more convenient switch. The trick is, remembering to turn that switch back on before getting comfortable.
