I assume you replaced them with LED. and what you got was likely the cheapest worst LED configuration possible, which are bound to fail in an RV. You likely got ones with a simple dropping resistor to set the current, these are designed to work with a 12V fixed voltage source. Once you turn on your charger and get to 13.6 otr 14+V, the current goes up and the LED's get hot and go into thermal runaway. and yes they will literally get hot enough to unsolder themselves. and won't last long.
ones like in the link above are ones that look to be very well designed and should work well in an RV.
you will need to find a supplier of LED bulbs that have a IC that provides a constant current to the LED, the best ones use a pulsed current source. and they will last a long time.
Hey thanks ktmrfs ,
I'm glade for the info but how to find a supplier that sell a IC??
