Doesn't the bulb have the part number.  We use Cool White color and buy them from Lowes or Home Depot.  Ours are not RV bulbs and are the same used in stick homes.  I think all Thin-lights use standard bulbs, but they do use non-standard 12-volt balasts.

I used to use the GE cool white bulbs from Lowes- 18 ". 

I have changed all of mine over to LED using the CabinBright tube replacements- very pleased with them and an easy conversion.
More expensive than replacement tubes, but about the same cost as a ballast, so you might want to consider replacing as they go out.

I just replaced the overhead lights in the bedroom ( 1 side did not work at all) with Cabin Bright mid range light.  I used only 1 strip on each light fixture- great light, easy.  Karen is happy and I can see now since the one that was out was on my side............lol

Hope this helps
Ted
