I'm a bit of a newbie with motorhomes but have had pull behinds for a while. I just picked up a 2008 Winnebago Journey 39z this week and am going through all the little details and figuring everything out. Have a few things I need some help on.
1. Ceiling light circuit. All of a sudden the ceiling lights in the main living area won't turn on. I checked all the 12v breakers, both house and chasis. All good.
My next assumption was a bad switch, i've had them go bad in a camper. I pulled the switch, it's a 2 gang (or whatever you call it in this application). The accent lighting switch works. The ceiling doesn't. Tested the leads and got 12.3v on the accent light, but no voltage on the ceiling. I didn't think to test the switch for continuity with it out, but since i got no voltage i guess it doesn't matter.
Where do i go next?
2. Speaking of ceiling lights. What the heck kind of bulbs are these?
I'm working on switching to LED's and don't know what to call these to search for.
3. What about this bulb? Its in the reading lamps throughout the coach.
4. The coach came with a remote lock/unlock for the door and cargo hatches. Checked the breakers. Good. Replaced remote battery. Neither the remote or the switch when coming in door do anything. Any ideas?
5. A piece of the corian cooktop cover is broken off. I have the piece. Any suggestions on adhesive to re-attach it?

ACDNate,
I've not read all the responses to your thread but, it appears that the first pic shows an LED already in place. The second pic is a standard 15mm, bayonet base, either reading lamp bulb or, flood light bulb, incandescent for sure.
As for gluing your Corian, NO you don't have to go to a "professional". There's quite a few glues out on the market now that will work outstandingly on your piece of Corian. And no, you wont' make a big mess, only a little kid will do that. Gorilla is now making glues for any application out there. I've used many of their products and, without a doubt, they know what they're doing when designing a glue. I just used their construction adhesive for re-gluing a headlight bracket back onto the front back side of my front cap. I gotta tell ya, If I wanted to take that bracket back off, I'd have to tear that whole front cap off the motorhome to do it.
The website I've used many times for LEDs is:
www.superbrightleds.com
While they may be a tad bit expensive, they by far, have the best quality of any LED supplier out there. And, not only that but, their site is the most informative of any I've ever seen. They will tell you everything you'll ever need to know about LEDs, the bases for bulbs, the type of LEDs, you'll need, the brightness, color core temp, and more.

Very helpful.
RE#2 If you get a chance can you snap a pic of what your bulbs look like? It's the ceiling lights that look like this with the trim on.
