Need a Replacement bedroom lamp- 98 Brave- new RVer
Hi Team- new RV er here, and I would ask for some tips on where to find a replacement lamp for the broken one in the bedroom. Doesn't have to be original, but would ideally mount up to the same posts. Any help appreciated, I can't get a new one anymore.
086280-01-000 EA LIGHT - SURFACE MOUNT - 12 VOLT (I *think* this is it, from the manuals)
Thank you!

I might first do an online search, using just the part number and "might " get lucky?
Then if not, try any number of resller online stores who deal RV parts which are not Winnebago specific.
Try different words to get different, but for my personal use, I might think it time to switch to LED if they appeal to you. LED will work fine when replaceing older style bulbs so no concerns on wiring as long as it is 12V replacing 12Volt!
I would want to assure the mounting screws were the same distance apart but that is one I find pretty standard.
E-trailer. com is one I use but lots of others that show up. If you have an RV dealer near, it may be just as good to look there and avoid questions, waiting and shipping?
Online search for RV parts may turn up lots of options?
I get into price versus time and sweat on some of the those deals! Too damn old to wait and sweat if it will work to save $2 ! If it's $12 I may wait!
EDIT:
Second look at your light! Is it broken or is it just a part come loose under the cover to leave it flopping?

On the other hand a search of Wal-mart for RV wall sconce, gets 212 options and I know I can take them back to the sdtore If I don't like it!

Thanks for the fast replies, it is broken behind the mount, so the whole things needs replaced. I thought maybe there was a place everyone goes to get this stuff, online, so I'll do some digging. Was thinking maybe it's a common problem.

Yes, I'm guessing they may get broken at times as it seems to stick out where we would hit it.
There are actually lots of different sites now that we have the online to look. One is th "official" Winnebago sirtes but there are cheaper/handier around, so I do a look any time as I have more time to shop than I like to admit!
Amazon may be handy but higher, Wal-mart is cheaper at times but then part of my reason for using them is that they are handy for me to take things back if I don't like it when I see it.
I can't tell how thick the metal is until I get my hands on things?
The two main things you need to have is the 12Volt, the distance between the mounting holes so it fit the box in the wall, making sure it has a switch on the light but the wiring and the rest is likely two wires and standard. One trick may be that the colors are different and LED does care about the polarity.
So if you get it wired and it doesn't work, be aware that reversing the wires may fix that!

I don't know where you are located. But, there is a RV salvage yard out from Gainesville, Florida. I bet they have one identical.
