Joe, you stated,

<< My  owners manual calls for the same bulb for the stop/tail
light(1034), but when I pulled the assembly there was a much smaller bulb
in the taillight postion. This doesn't match what the owners manual says
but does match the bently, see  Page 94.6, which shows a smaller 5W bulb.
 This is the bulb I cannot seem to find. I talked with a local mechanic
and they said a #57 or #63, does this sound right? >>

   The owner's manual is wrong.  The 1034 is a dual filament bulb...all
of the bulbs in the T4 tail light assembly are single filament.  I found
a bulb chart in an RV catalog, it listed the #57, but not the #63.  The
chart stated the #57 is a different base type.  Here are your choices,
based on what I think is the correct base:

Bulb No Watts      Amperes        CP   Globe Type      Base Type
    67         8     0.59 @ 13.5V      4          G6                SC
    97         9     0.69 @ 13.5V      4          G6                SC
1003       12     0.94 @ 12.8V     15         B6                SC
   93        13     1.04 @ 12.8V     15         S8                SC
1141       18     1.44 @ 12.8V     21         S8                SC
1073       23     1.80 @ 12.8V     32         S8                SC
1056       27     2.10 @ 12.8V     32         S8                SC
1156       27     2.10 @ 12.8V     32         S8                SC
