As someone currently going through incredible trauma trying to change 2 light bulbs/globes/callthemwhatyouwill I find this post extremely insensitive. You may make fun of the process of changing light fittings (there now that's a better term) but trust me it can be traumatic. I have LED lights. 2 of them aren't working. The Jayco people assured me that one wasn't working becuase it's fittings needed 'tweaking' and the other needed replacing - and no they don't stock replacements. I've tried 4 places for replacements without success. I have no idea how to get the other one 'tweaked'. Ho hum - I do realise that this is all a conspiracy by the universe to ensure that I don't get bored.

Terry, you forgot to include the installation inspector that knows the AS Rule Book from cover to cover and can quote an AS rule to cover every situation.

Very good , but you missed the " I hurt my thumb changing the bulb " post , and the next 25 saying

Don't forget OH&S!!! Oh! and the Union.
If the "Light Fitting" was in a Local Government Office there would have to be a Committee formed, then a Consultant Tendered for but before all that let's have a coffee. Oh! we can't do that cos we cant see as the light is not working. I give up!

Rod changed our lights to LED even the tail/brake lights. We got them from the manufacturer Nomadic1 so perhaps find a manufacturer other than Jayco and they may be able to help. :):):):) Wonder how long we can keep this post going lol

... 1 to complain about the dog left off lead while the light bulb was being changed
17 to complain that, (now that the light works again) you can see that some irresponsible dog owner did not pick up deposits
34 dog owners to respond that it wasn't / never would be them / their dog.

This post has enlightened me to the point that night has turned to day and I need to flick the switch, the nomads would not see the light of day and be together in darkness and then you would see the sparks fly and believe me, that would turn night into day. Kev
