Hi lads u know the shaver lights would they work off a 12v leisure battery

It would depend on the voltage of your Light. Is it a household unit you bought. If so you will need an inverter to power the unit when not on a hook up

It was in the van already it has a switch that says 115 and 230 if that means anything

The unit you have installed in your motorhome is a mains unit and will only work when you are pluged into 220V. If you want it to work I suggest you wire it into an inverter.

Ah right so when it's plugged into the generator or mains hook up it will work. I get ya. Can you suggest any other lighting I could get

You can have a look www.12volt.com.au/
or you can ramble down to Charles Camping.

Cheers man. Next question for ya. If the shavers are already installed to the main elecs can I just replace them with a 12v light and connect them to the electrics instead if the shaver? It's just the shaver lights look stupid

I dont know how many of these lights are installed in your camper . You will NOT be able to put in 12v tubes in them as it appears that they are wired for 220v electricity. I suggest that you visit an auto electrician in your area and he will be able to sort the problem for you.
