I installed a replacement fluorescent light in my camper when I first got
it. I got it from a company called Northern Arizona Wind & Sun. They sell a
large variety of Thin-Lites and the 171 model ($23.75) matches what was
originally installed in my camper. I purchased a 172 model ($30.75) which
has two bulbs. You will probably need to reuse your switch, I located mine
in the middle of the light instead of on the end.

They also have some round lights and outdoor fluorescents on their web page.

I have no affiliation with this company other than being a satisfied
customer.

Thinking of installing an inside light as an addition to the single bulb
halogen over my sink. Bus depot sells two, a single bulb fluorescent and a
triple bulb incandescent.
Anyone got any observations on which sheds more light and which is a greater
power drain. I would assume the incandescent to eat more juice. Which is
better for reading and lighting up the inside of the van? Thanks for any
suggestions.
