After examining my 2002 Grandby, this looks like way too much disassembly for me. I think the refer would have to come out and possibly the countertop. I think I'll try a clear lens and a super bright LED for the porch light. One lesson I've learned, even if you don't think you need it, have Four Wheel wire every option when they mfg your camper. (rear and side lights, solar, on-board battery, etc.)
This is the quick fix I went for. I kept the amber lens, though.
What I really like is that I can leave the porch light on for hours and not worry about it.
There's been a few times, when that's the only way I can find the camper after doing some night hiking / photography.

We're going to that also. Looking forward to meeting you.I'm going to the Four Wheel meet-up in Sonoma on the 21st. I plan to ask a few questions about what may or may not be hiding in the walls of my Grandby.

Andy, are you saying you just replaced the incandescent bulb in your stock porch light with an LED replacement? Sounds like a great plan, do you have a part number or source to share? Thanks!
Sorry, it's been a while and I don't have the receipt to ID the exact bulb. I think it was one of these here. As you said, I just changed bulbs, not the fixture. I also did the same to change the primary light on the two incandescent interior lights to LED.
If you search through the forums here, you should find a wealth of info
