If it were me, I'd leave them alone as fluorescent lamps are pretty low consumption anyway..
That lamp format is a fluorescent tube and therefore probably runs on 230V. That means that the lamp housing in your motorhome contains an inverter to change 12V DC into 230V AC. In order to replace with LEDs, you will need to strip out the inverter unit and install a 12V lamp holder to suit the LED of your choice. Alternatively you can buy LED strips and wire them directly to the 12V feed, bypassing the inverter circuitry.

I have replaced halogen bulbs with LEDs in some locations, but where I have four fluorescent units (older style than yours as they are simple straight tubes) over the kitchen, table, and above each bed, I have left them alone.
i beg to differ....
An 11watt fluorescent uses 11watts plus any inverter losses.
A 20watt led strip uses around 2watts....big difference
