Lights Flickering

[jamiller29]

I have a 2015 Solitude 379FL, and the ceiling lights are flickering, it started about 2 weeks ago and it was just 1 in the bedroom, and now its almost all of them. I have no idea where to even begin, the dealership I got from stated it might be a power converter going out but I have no idea where that's located. I would take it in but I work/live in this camper and I cant take it somewhere for a good while. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!

I agree with your dealership regarding the converter. It is located behind the black panel on the basement. Unload your basement, then unscrew the panel at the rear of the storage area. I believe on the 379 it's on the passenger side. They are fairly simple to change out. Do a search on YouTube and you should be able to find a video on how to change it.

Mine is located next to stairs, remove front panel on curb side. While I had mine out, I modified the wall so I could move it back about 8”. A little more storage room

If you unplug shore power (or turn off the breaker for the converter), the lights will be operating on battery power. If this eliminates the flickering, you will know that the converter is causing the problem. If the lights don't work at all, this might mean your battery switch is turned off . . . which could also be part of the problem.

I am going to try this question here, as it has to do with lighting. I have the glass orangeish globes that hang down over the center island in my 2015 303RLS. One of the original light bulbs just burned out - and I'm having trouble getting it changed. Is it a screw in or plug in bulb? I assumed screw in, and tried to back it out, which undid the entire fixture from the drop down tube, exposing all the wiring. After some time, I was able to get that all back together correctly. Now though, I still don't know how to get the bulb changed! I can only get one hand inside the globe with the way it narrows at the top. I do not want to break this globe, I know they are no longer put in the units. Any and all help greatly appreciated

^^^^^ It should be a bayonet style bulb, push up and turn counter clockwise. You may have to push up fairly hard.

When we changed our bulbs to LED it took 2 hands. ( a 2014 303) I got on a foot stool and steadied the fixture with one hand and pushed up and turned with the other. It took more pressure pushing up than you would think. I was afraid it would break but it didn't.

This is correct . . . it takes way more upward pressure than it should. Wear a leather work glove . . . just in case the original glass globe bulb does break.
