My kitchen ceiling light bulbs failed and when I tried to change them I could not twist the bulbs to remove them. I finally got one bulb out and found a plastic ring holding the bulbs in place. How do I replace the bulbs?

Hi, can anyone help me out please? I have a 2004 Safari Panther and I stupidly busted the lens covers of my rear light (right hand side) and I am having a real hard time finding new ones. My local RV service shop has been in contact with Allied, but they can't help. I understand that the original manufacturer is Triplex and they do not seem to exist anymore. I am now stuck. Does anyone have any idea where to try getting these covers or know of a newer light assembly that will fit? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!

Vehicle: 2003 Holiday Rambler Ambassador. Last night we had a huge rain storm while parked at our RV park. Our lights went out and I thought we lost power, but the fan and printer were still on. We figured out that none of our lights work, nor the hot water heater or air conditioning. However, the outlets, TV, microwave, and fridge work. We have tried resetting everything and putting in new light bulbs, but nothing seems to be fixing the issue. Nothing is lit up on the power board. Any suggestions to fix this strange electrical problem?

I was pulling out my hair, suffering sporatic blown flasher fuses, on a recent trip. Then, the flasher unit itself failed. It was a maiden voyage with our new-to-us Patriot Thunder, our guests rolled their eyes every time I slid open the window to signal with my arm, got honked at, pulled into a truck stop to change yet another set of fuses. Finally, I unplugged the dolly lights and didn't blow another fuse. Today, after three hours of diagnostics and disassembling the dolly electrical system, I finally spotted the culprit: two tiny bites on a pair of wires going through a brand-new finder to the light assembly bolted to the outside. Yes, after catastrophic blowouts on BOTH sides of the dolly due to inferior OEM tires, I had to install new fenders. They arrive prewired, are simply mounted and plugged in. Turns out, at the factory the person who installed the lights put so much pressure on the wiring where it passes through the 1/4" hole that the insulation was severed inside of 2,000 miles of use. Of course, none of the pass-throughs are engineered with a 20 cent rubber grommet to protect the wiring; so, this kind of failure was bound to be repeated, had I not wrapped the wires in thick rubber tape. It seems dollies are designed to sell, rather than to last.
