Stupid question
Ok..I know this is a stupid question but I want to replace the lamps (bulbs) but I can not find the numbers to replace with. only number stamped on it is 12v21cp?
PS. the outside fixture said use type 9 something but the rest has worn off on the ones that I can read anything at all.

There are no stupid questions. Stupid answers, yes.
Easiest would be to take the lamps you need to replace to your local RV parts store and they should be able to fix you up with the proper replacements.

If it were me, I would take the RV Rig info and make the RV dealer and or parts dealer like C World tell me what ones i need. You could take in one of every bulb you want to change out and let them do the work or at the very least tell you what part numbers they are and then maybe see if Wally World sells them!

If you find a picture online, I bet it'll have a number with it. Or I can see a pic and tell you a number.
List of automotive light bulb types - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here's some.
I don't know about others, but just going off RV info doesn't help me, especially since I haven't owned or worked in every single one often enough to memorize the bulbs used.

Before you rush to CW for light bulbs, check price. Needed a 18" florsencent bulb, $14, lowes was only $5. Use the CW to identify the bulbs if needed, then save some bucks and buy another place.

Here is a bulb chart that should identify anything you have.

Basically, that advice applies to just about anything CW handles. Figure out what you want, then buy it almost anywhere else for less money. Sometimes a lot less.

Just what I was going to do. I woud like to support CW but I find their prices so much higher than what we would pay elsewhere just hard to keep buying there. And to honest the staff got less and less helpful (at the Denton Tx store anyway) and more where they will talk down to you.

Sometimes the bulbs housing will have a small placard or ink stamp either inside or outside with the bulbs type printed on it.

If it is 12 volt it is likely a standard automotive bulb.
Take it to auto zone napa or any other such place.
Then write down what they are

It sounds like a 921 bulb which is a wedge base 12v, 21CP bulb.
Hope all this helps you.

Take one of the lamps you need to replace and go to any of the following:
Auto Zone
Discount auto
Pep Boys
______Auto parts (fill in the blank)
And find the lamp bulb display.. look for one the same size and shape and read the card 12 volt, 21 candlepower is what you are looking for.
21 cp is a 1141 by the way if it's the large bayonet base. You will find a photo of one #1141 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE, S8 SC BAY 12.8V 1.44A 21CP , 1141, #1141, #1141 MINIATURE, #1141 BULB, #1141 LAMP, EIKO#40176, ML18WB2C,BULBO,BOMBILLA,BIRNE,AMPOULE
