22T under-dinette mod
Not sure how common an issue this is with the various trailers, but thought I'd post this change. Maybe I'm not the only one that took so long to realize it could easily be done. :)

Relative light output is a judgement call I guess. The LEDs produce a blue-white light, vs the yellowish light from the original bulb. I think one 4-LED module wouldn't be as bright as the 1141 bulb,...
