How to Change RV Ceiling Light Bulb?

Many people have switched their RV incandescent bulbs for RV LED bulbs. Incandescent bulbs heat up, and the heat eventually damages the filament and other parts of the bulb, leading to them burning out faster. Because LED bulbs do not heat up, these bulbs last much longer and use less energy. They contribute less waste overall and are more eco-friendly and cost-effective than incandescent bulbs.

How many RVers does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one…although you may want a buddy to spot you if you’re climbing any ladders.

When you’re ready to change your RV ceiling light bulb, turn off the lights first and allow them to cool. Begin by removing the old lightbulb and setting it aside. If there is a dome or other fixture over the bulb, you’ll need to unscrew that or slide it sideways to access the bulb. Twist or push your new bulb into place, depending on the type. Check to make sure it is firmly in place. Wrap your old bulb in paper or packaging so it doesn’t shatter and dispose of it. Used bulbs, as a general rule, cannot be reused or recycled.

Finally, turn on the light and check that your bulb is working.
