A typical incandescent bulb in your RV draws roughly 10 amps.
A typical festoon style (round tube with contacts at each end, used in auto dome lights) incandescent 12VDC bulb will draw between 0.25A and 1.0A.
A single filament 12VDC bulb (1156 - typical "backup" light bulb) uses about 2.1A. A dual filament 12VDC bulb (1157 - typical stop/turn bulb) also uses about 2.1A
LED equivalent use a fraction of this.
