Replacement LED Dome Light for a Forest River Travel Trailer
Question:
My current light has a led strip and is hard-wired. How much trouble is it to change out with my current lighting. The light came with the trailer and didnt last 2 years. We camped out a total of 8 times with an average of 3 1/2 days each trip. Not sure I want to purchase another light with a led strip and take a chance on it. The travel trailer is a Forest River, Flagstaff Micro Lite, 21DS.

It should not be too much trouble at all to replace the light in your trailer with a new one such as # 277-000114. If you take off the lenses you will see the mounting hardware. You will likely need to cut the wiring to completely free the light. I would cut it as close to the light as you can so that you have enough free wire to work with. It would probably be a good idea to disconnect the trailer battery prior to cutting the wiring to avoid getting a shock or shorting something out.
The new light uses white for ground and black for power and its mounting locations are also behind the lenses.
It is strange that an LED light did not last long on your trailer. It could just be bad LEDs in that one light. That does happen from time to time. We haven't had any complaints like that with light # 277-000114.
