I heard that by doing the conversion to the pencil type, that they don't last has long has the old style. Is this true? Is there a big difference between the two?

My retrofit pencils have been working for 6 years with no problems. BIG difference in very cold weather.

In fact, I have a Perkins 4-108 diesel generator in my motorhome with loop plugs and I'm wondering if there is a retrofit plug available for them I like them so much.

A decent brand of vinyl paint should work for the map pocket but I haven't tried it to be sure. Or are you refering to changing the entire interior color?
I looked around my stuff and the only spare map pocket I have is a tan one with a 1" chunk missing on the top edge. Those darn things sure are fragile.
