OK got my Camper home from going through it found a bulb that is out. The patio light(Yellow light) Stamped in it is 12v15w. Can I get these anywhere(walmart,autoparts stores home depot) or do I have to go to the RV store to get a replacement? It's not a yellow bulb, just the lens on the camper is yellow. The bulb is clear.

Just FYI, I've recently replaced all the bayonet-base 2-amp bulbs in our pop-up with LED bulbs. They're 12v, of course, put out about 2.8 watts of light, compared with the 1.5 to 3w in the bulbs I replaced, depending on the size, and they only draw less than a quarter-amp each, while each of the old incandescents draw 3 to 4 times that. The color of the light is the same, maybe a bit "cooler", and they put our zero heat because they're LEDs. They're made in China, of course, and they run about $30 for 10 of them, but I figured that was a minimal investment in exchange for extended battery life when we're off shore power. So, if you don't mind contributing to the trade imbalance, here's a link to where I found them on eBay:

Be sure to take the BULB with you so you can compare things...

Most trailer lighting is 12VDC so the lights can be from the converter/charger when on shore power or directly from the battery when off the power grid.
