Should my cabin lights be 12vDC or 120vAC?
If it matters, the majority of the time I'll be at a campground. Maybe a little bit of dry docking other times. Thanks.

I know you're doing a gut job on the trailer so it's an option. The 12vdc is the much easier way to go.

LED lighting is DC anyway if you are going that route.

Definitely 12v, then you can have light when you are not one shore power or connected to a generator. When on shore power or generator you will still use 12v lighting.

12v dc cabin lights. A lot of people carry a couple of 110v AC lamps to use when hooked up to shore power.

If you want to. Change your light to
a/c and use an inverter.

Both, in my opinion. A few 12 volt led's for travel or dry camping. Some 110 LED's so that you can actually see when hooked to power.

I found some 80 Watt #1156 LED bulbs on ebay for about $4.50 each.
I am really impressed how much light they put off in the ceiling fixtures.
