Lights: replacing the bulbs
So after 3 months full time in my 26 and a 1/2 foot mid bath (1997) I have a burnt-out light bulb(s)  In my bathroom I have 0 idea on how to get the cover for the light fixture off in order to replace the bulbs. Looking for Simple how to instructions please.
TIA

I don't know which specific light fixtures you have, Nichol, but the usual procedure is to squeeze the lens along its long edges.

Nichol, we have a 98~MB, you probably have this light in your bathroom like ours if it is original.  As Andy suggested you just squeeze each side to remove the lens.

...and while you're at it, consider replacing those power-hungry incandescent bulbs with warm white LEDs. :-)

You could go one better and change your light completely.  We kept the old lights but changed the mirror for a lighted one.  One drawback is that it is 110v but you could be plugged in to shore power or run the generator or if you have an inverter you could invert 12v DC to the 110v AC?  We left the old light for the times we are on 12v only.

M4 LEDs is my go-to place for LEDs, good products, and service.

Pay attention to the color of the bulbs, they come in several colors (also referred to as temperature).
Also available are LED tubes for replacing the fluorescent tubes.
Changing all the bulbs to LEDs will significantly decrease your nighttime power usage.

Lighting your rig with 4-5 Luci Lights will save even more!  😁
