Bedroom Dimmer switch
Bedroom side lights will not come on. I believe the switch needs to be replaced. Is this a standard dimmer I can get at Home Depot? There is power to the 2 plugs next to it, so power is going to that area.
Thanks

Mine did the same thing and it was piggyback off of the light switch in the kitchen had come loose. Secured it back and all is well

120v outlets, switches, dimmers are RV specific due to the typical +/- 2” wall thickness.

Actually they are typically RV specific due to the switch also cting as the "Box" but a standard switch can be used with a shallow old work box as long as you don't try to put too many wires in there.
I used a household dimmer on the bedroom as well as the switch over the dining table and both are working fine with the shallow boxes installed

I had switched to LED's, so it didn't work right anyway. I deleted it and out a cover plate on it.

Some LEDs will dim with standard dimmers; others require LED specific units.

Replaced Dimmer with Lutron from Home Depot. Works great, now. Thank you for replies.
