replacing light bulb

Well, here is Mr. Handyman, Jack of All Trades, rebuilding 2nd home--and I can't figure out how to get the bulb out of a dome light in the RV in signature.
Not a bayonet, possibly a candalara(sp)bayonet type.
Could be a wedge mount but afraid of pulling on bulb.

All help appreciated.

Thanks

    I love it when somebody gives me a straight line.


    How many ___________ does it take to change a light bulb? ONLY a thousand variations on that one.

    You might try using your cell phone camera to take a picture, It can see what you can not

    There are basically three bases used,,, now one of these is highly unlikely,

    Screw in (like a regular 120 volt house lamp but smaller) You already said you think that's not it, and it is very rare in this type of service

    Bayonet Push, turn pull

    Wedge.. Just pull

    (And pin another Just pull

    use of an inspection mirror (My lady's compact perhaps) or your cell phone camera might get you a better view of the base and a clue.
