I would try one bulb first.  I bought one and when I tried it in the van I was not impressed at all.  I took it back to the shop and they gave me a refund.  Some led s might be better than others.  The power saving might be useful if you go to rallies or certified sites without hook-up.

One advantage is that leds run cooler which is less of a fire hazard.

A white led needs a voltage of 3.3v and current 0f 35mA to 70mA. This means you cant connect direct to a 12v supply.

yes you do,. the ones pictured in the link above already have the resistors embedded in the base . you just replace the halagen ones direct with led ones

Old led bulbs worked on 12 volts, caravans electrics are about 13 .8 volts & you needed a separate rectifier so that it didn't blow the leds.

Over the last few years led bulbs have come with the rectifier included in the bulb, so its a case of remove the halogen or filament bulb & fit the led bulb.

If you don't fancy the blue light that conventional leds give off ask for a warm light led bulb
