Expert Reply:
Your motorhome must have a bulb out sensor. Becasue LED's draw so much less power than incandescents, the bulb-out sensor thinks the bulb is out and causes the circuit to hyperflash. You'll need to install a load resistor like # ALEDRST2B on each lamp. The resistor would plug inline between your existing PL3 plug and the lamp for a plug and play installation. This assumes you're using the # STL23RB lamp you referenced. If you're using a different lamp, you'd use the # DI34ZR and wire it to the turn signal circuit as described in the linked instructions.
