Be careful with LED lights designed to run off a 120v to 12vdc plug in power supply. Those lights are designed to see a constant 12vdc. Your motor home "12v" circuit sees a wide range of dc voltage up to nearly 15vdc depending on your alternator and converter/charger. This voltage range can quickly fry the LEDs intended for home use. The LEDs designed for boat/RV use are typically Buck driven via an on-board voltage regulator that can handle the wide range of dc voltage encountered in these applications.
