Lights burning out in 2016 Vista 30T

Experiencing high rate of burn out in the overhead and over counter lights in my 2016 Vista 30T. Of the twenty lights in the coach, to date, thirteen have had to be replaced. Bought the coach Dec 2, 2016 and had seven go out after a month and a half. Anybody else have this issue.

If they are the LED's, the supplier made a bunch of them with bad solder and the parts just fall off the circuit board. I've replaced most of mine under warranty. Have four more to get replaced under warranty. Go back to the dealer, he'll probably know about it. You can search here for emore details also on other threads.

How many volts are those overhead and over counter lights seeing?

As the OP says, the supplier had a bad batch of these lights.

The entire assembly has to be replaced, not just a bulb. Cost is approx 45.00, some have found them on Amazon much cheaper but no way of telling if they may be some of the bad batch being flushed.

We have had all of ours replaced once, most twice and are seeing a much lower failure rate now.

WI has been kind enough to send me replacements as needed even though we are out of warranty. Don't know how long they will do that, but so far....!

As stated, the manufacturer changed the solder type used and the newer solder deteriorates with heat from the lights and the fixture fails. It is a well documented problem and the replacement fixtures should not fail. I would request from Winnebago - replacement fixtures for all that haven't been replaced. It is NOT a question of if the others will fail - rather when. They are very easy to replace requiring two crimp connections so it is something you can do yourself. Good luck,
