These are the ones I ordered from 2011_led for my Hideout's interior lights;
10x-T10-194-921-168-Bulb-Lamp-24-1210SMD-LED-Warm-White (http://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-T10-194-921-168-Bulb-Lamp-24-1210SMD-LED-Warm-White-/170674549926?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CA:3160)
I needed 15 LED's so I ordered 2 sets @ $17.88

LED is on the left, regular 921 incandescent on the right;

Every one clicked in easily, the entire changeover took less than 5 minutes, and now I've got 5 spare LEDs and 15 spare bulbs just in case.

One little thing I had to fix is the fuse panel door, the small 'clicker' latch a the top center appears to be broken, it doesn't latch and the fuse panel ends up falling open.

(right in the top center of the panel is the little clicker-latch;

When we bought it the PO had a strip of electrical tape holding it closed,

I ended up connecting with John at WFCO tech support and he sent me over 2 new clickers, one worked like a charm and the other went into my 'spares' toolbox.

I wish other companies had such great tech support.

Here is the plumbing setup I used to replace the Lakeview RV Supply Model 1000 vacuum break valve that sprayed all over the inside of the cabinet the first time I tried it.. Discussed here (http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4656&highlight=vacuum) and here (http://www.keystonerv.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2832)..

Replaced it with two sharkbite 90 bends and a sharkbite checkvalve plus a vacuum break at the attachment outside when I'm using it.

Also tracked down the proper propane fittings to allow me to run both a Coleman stove and our BBQ off of a 20lb tank at the picnic table, It's got a QCC for the bbq and a POL for the stove;

Spent the evening cleaning out the trailer and wiping out every corner, now anything in there is our mess :D

Realized that I had missed the stove light while I was LED'ing everything- happy to find it was another 921 bulb so I already had a replacement LED for it.

I've dewinterized and am currently sanitizing the tanks..
btw, this forum is awesome, I'm glad I found it.

Welcome. It seems that you are well on your way to making this your camper! This forum is wonderful and has been a great resource for us in our travels. Continue to share as you customize and find fixes that others could benefit from.
