Porch light bulb?
Porch light just burned out. Bulb says "1141" on it. Is this an automotive bulb or must it be an RV bulb? Need a replacement. 2014 3405RL.

I replaced mine with a LED and it is a lot brighter. Also it will last longer.

Why just replace the bulb? Here's a link for a new LED fixture. It's on my short list of mods to do.

1141 is a common 12V bulb found in the auto section of walmart or any auto parts store.

I replaced with the fixture that CORattler suggested,got it on EBay for 45.00 free shipping.
This fixture has a LED bulb and also a sensor that actives the light when someone approaches,well worth the money.

Ouch Chris! $54 for the LED bulb? Man you could buy a new fixture and have it installed for that price! Thinking of putting in the auto porch light in myself but that is another mod to be done down the line. Check at Menards, Lowes or Home Depot for the LED also. I've replace several here at the stick and brick from them and only cost me about $10 each for those!

I replaced my porch light with the smart motion Led fixture. It is really bright and I like the dual motion sensors that turns it on if anybody approaches my campsite in the middle of the night. The sensitivity is adjustable and it has a day/night sensor so it stays off during the day. Plus it has a battery voltage monitor that will shut the light off and keep it off if your battery voltage drops below a certain voltage. They also make one for the scare light that I also have.
