or replace the fixture. We have two of these which work well: Gustafson Lighting RV Trailer Camper Lighting Brass Reading Light 51AM-559XY

buy a low power less bright LED bulb for a few bucks and put that in the fixture

I think the OP wanted not only to dim the lights but to be able to turn them on and off without reaching up on the ceiling to do so. He has no wall switch. The remote on/off - dimmer would give him both.
