This fits the same footprint as the small oval outdoor lights (Poarch light) on my Forest River fifth wheel. Same screw hole spacing. I pulled out the existing wires from the hole for better access. The wires have a crimp cap type connector. Never used these before. I would be helpful for etrailer to have a video on how to crimp the wires. I think the hard part may be stuffing the wires back in the small hole!

The outdoor light on the front of my Forrest River Salem was not working. I ordered this light to replace it and it arrived promptly. It was very simple to install and works great with an LED bulb I purchased separately. This is my first travel trailer, and I wish there would have been some type of notice to purchase the clay-like sealant that goes behind the housing of the light. In any case, great experience with etrailer, they haven't let me down yet!

I had no idea where to find the replacement porch light needed for our 2007 T@B trailer. The manufacturer recommended etrailer.com and I couldn't be happier. Not only did the part match what I needed but I later found the same part at a local RV dealer where it was being sold for an incredible $30 more. I'd highly recommend extrailer.com. Shipment was fast, too. Overall an excellent experience.

I recently purchased a 2011 Dutchmen Colorado. Even though it's used it has been kept in great shape and I want to keep it that way. A few weeks ago I damaged the oval porch light mounted on the front of the trailer which provides light for hitching or changing the propane tanks. I found this light on etrailer at a great price so I ordered it on a Sunday. About an hour later I received an email that my order had been shipped. Needless to say I was impressed that there was even a response on a Sunday. The light arrived today and in a few moments I removed the old one and replaced it making the trailer look showroom perfect again. Thanks etrailer for great service and a great product.

Recently ordered this light after checking at a local rv store. Etrailer was half the price even with shipping, and it is the exact product. Item came in 3 days even with"value shipping".
Installation was simple. I definitely recommend etrailer to anyone who wants quality for less.

This was a replacement for a heat damaged light on the back of my KZ RV trailer. It was a perfect fit. It would have been nice it it had been updated from an incandescent to a LED bulb.
I have been an eTrailer customer for a long time and have always been happy with their product selection, price and customer service.

I haven’t installed the items I ordered, but all items are as advertised.
I don’t see any reason the product won't work as designed.
etrailer is prompt on response to orders and get your order packaged quickly. Their shipping rates are very good.

See what our Experts say about this Optronics RV Exterior Lights
- Recommended Porch Light Replacement For A Truck Bed Camper That Experiences Heavy Road Shock Hey John, Typically LED's would be the better option since the filament of an incandescent bulb is pretty brittle. In your case I'd say there's either an issue with the board the LED's are built into, loose wiring, or an issue with the power source. If the board is going bad on the light then it's either very low quality or you're hitting some super rough roads and would see more than issues than just with the lights. It's possible that your wire connections came loose or you just have...
view full answer... - How to Remove Lens from Optronics Porch Light on 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite 2109SYou will need to either put some upwards or downwards pressure on the lens and then rotate it outwards to gain access to the inside of the RV Porch Utility Light w/ Switch # RVPL7C for changing the light bulb, mounting it, or replacing the Clear Lens # APL5CB. We haven't had the chance to install this light yet but if you check out the linked install video for the RV Porch and Utility Light # RVPL1A you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about.
view full answer... - How to Remove Lens of RV Oval Porch and Utility Light # RVPL7CThe lens on the RV Oval Porch and Utility Light # RVPL7C is held to the housing with some tabs on the lens that fit slots on the housing. To remove the lens you will need something thin and flat like a knife or small screwdriver to gently pry the lens free. The tabs on the lens are located at the top and bottom of the lens so to avoid breaking then start gently prying on the sides of the lens until you can see the tabs well enough to avoid them. The lens can be snapped right back into...

view full answer... - Replacement Porch Light Lens and Storage Cover for a 2018 Forest River Cherokee 274RKWithout knowing the model of the light that is on the 2018 Forest River Cherokee 274RK I cannot say for sure which lens will fit it. It is possible that the model of the light is on the light body itself, not the lens, but you would likely have to remove the light to see the back of it. Otherwise you would go by the dimensions. Lens # APL5CB fits # RVPL7C, among other lights. This light is 6-1/4 inches long x 3-7/16 inches wide x 1-7/8 inches deep. If that matches your existing light then...
view full answer... - Will RV Oval Porch Light RVPL7C Hold up to WeatherThis RV Porch Light, part # RVPL7C, was designed to be exposed to any weather your RV will see. The switch is on the bottom of the light fixture and the shape of the lens and housing work to keep moisture out. Even the internal parts are corrosion resistant. This part should do just fine on your RV.
view full answer... - Availability of Optronics RV Porch Utility Light with Clear Lens Yes, for the same type of light as the Optronics RV Porch Utility Light # RVPL5A you were looking at but with a clear lens you can use the part # RVPL7C. This assembly has the same white base and overall dimensions but with a clear lens and a built-in toggle switch that you can use to turn the light on and off. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wiring is Used on Optronics RV Oval Porch and Utility Light # RVPL7CI walked out to our warehouse and pulled the Optronics RV Oval Porch and Utility Light, part # RVPL7C, from our inventory. The wires on the # RVPL7C light are 18 Gauge (AWG) wires. The coating on the wires are rated to 105 degrees Celsius or 221 degrees Fahrenheit.
view full answer... - Replacement Switch for RV Oval Porch and Utility Light with Switch # RVPL7CWe do have a switch that may work for you though it is not an exact replacement for the one on # RVPL7C. Take a look at the mini-rocker switch, # BL0108-00. This is a simple on/off switch like the one on the light.
view full answer... - How to Connect RV Oval Porch and Utility Light to a Trailer BatteryOn porch light # RVPL7C the white wire is the ground and will need to attach to a clean metal surface. The black wire is the power wire. You can use some automotive wire to go from the light to the battery. Once at the battery you could use something like the battery terminal # DW05312. There are a couple of studs on this terminal and you could place a ring terminal on the end of the wire, remove a stud, then put the wire over the stud and thread it back into place. If your battery already...
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement Lens on 2009 Fleetwood TiogaSince we don't carry the exact light you have the best option we have for a replacement lens would be an all new assembly like the RV Porch Light part # RVPL7C that you referenced.
view full answer... - Replacement Porch Utility Light For 2016 Rockwell Ultra Light 5th WheelI do have an option for you but we currently do not carry a porch light lens that is 8-1/4 x 3-1/2 inches. The closest option we have is Replacement Clear Lens for Optronics RV Porch Utility Lights part # APL5CB which measures 5-1/2" long x 2-3/4" tall x 1/2" deep. If you are not able to find the lens, I recommend to replace the porch light with Optronics RV Porch Utility Light w/ Switch - Incandescent part # RVPL7C which measures 6-1/4" long x 3-7/16" wide x 1-7/8" deep and has a switch.
view full answer... - Availability of White Base Version of RV Porch Light RVPL7CBYes, for a white base version of the # RVPL7CB you'd want the part # RVPL7C.
