LEDs are such a hot topic. One of our most popular videos demonstrates how we used inexpensive strip lights to convert our fluorescent fixtures to LED. Our videos on switching incandescent and halogen bulbs to LEDs have also been very popular.
There's been so much interest that we wanted to share the details about the new higher-end technique we’re using to upgrade the rest of our fluorescent fixtures. This video covers the steps needed to convert 12″ fluorescent tubes using beautifully-designed LED tubes. They're more expensive than the cheap strip lights, but the quality and elegance of the bulb designs are really sweet!
M4 Products, the company that sells them, even offered to give a discount to RVgeeks viewers. If you shop at M4products.com, simply use the code "RVgeeks5" when you check out, and you'll get a 5% discount off your entire purchase. :)
Since 12″ fixtures are upgraded to LED in a different way than 12″ fixtures, we’re creating two separate videos. If you want to see how to convert an 18″ fluorescent fixture to LED, there's a link at the end of the video and in the video description, or you can see our post about it here.
We don't pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But many systems are the same on different RVs. The advice we give works well for us, but be sure to consult a professional technician if you're unsure about working on your own RV.

The RVs of Scotland - United Kingdom Motorhomes & Caravans
We've just returned from an awesome two-week trip to Scotland, where we saw more motorhomes, caravans, sites and pitches than we ever expected... especially since we just learned what some of those terms mean!
Starting in Glasgow, we headed northwest to the Scottish Highlands, visiting the Isles of Mull, Iona and Skye, then north to Ullapool & Thurso, across to the Orkney Islands, down to Inverness and St. Andrews, and on to Edinburgh.
Come along for the ride while we share everything we learned about RVing in the United Kingdom.
