Question #2.  Does the 2013 R-Pod have 12v LED bulbs both outside and inside? 
 
Thanks Charlie, any idea how many I will need of each.  I don't pick up my rig until tomorrow.  I will place an order now for some of each.
 
Thinker,

I'm not totally familiar with the 171. You will need two of the first types (194 replacement) for each dual light fixture. My guess, only a guess, is there are three dual ceiling fixtures so you will need six for them. The kitchen and bath each have a single fixture so there are two more. Don't know about the bed area. The porch light needs one type 1156 AMBER replacement, the second link in my email.
My suggestion is to wait until you get the Pod, then count the required bulbs.

These LEDs are a bit pricey, but I have tried several other "cheap, direct from China" lights and found them seriously lacking.

Inside my 171, there are 10 bulbs, all wedge-sockets (194s):
  • 2 single-bulb fixtures over the dining table
  • 1 double-bulb fixture across from the entrance door
  • 1 single-bulb fixture over the sink
  • 1 double-bulb fixture over the fridge
  • 1 double-bulb fixture over the bed
  • 1 single-bulb fixture in the bathroom
Personally, I bought fan-shaped, single-sided, warm LEDs from an eBay seller in Senzhen, China.  They're very bright and have a warm (slightly yellow) colour to them; I find them to be a very good replacement bulb for both quality of light and quantity.  I've had them for a full season and have been very happy with them.  The ones I bought are (here), but I'm sure that there are many other sellers with similar product.

Outside the trailer, there's just the porch light which is an 1156.  The stock was amber, but given the amber cover, I put a clear replacement in there without trouble.  I picked up a LED replacement at a local auto supply store.  I was never very happy with the LED outside (not bright enough) and I swapped the original back in after a few camping trips.
