I researched this a while back. There are RV specific dimmers on the market, through ebay and other places.
I've seen dimmers that could be retrofitted into the fixtures if your handy
& I have seen propper looking switches like this one
Dimmer/On-Off Rocker Switch Assembly w/ Bezel White - $59.69

I have also read reports of folks that have experienced interference in tvs and such from them.

After researching, I ended up with a plan to change out the switches in the fixtures with DPDT switches, and install a dim bulb in one side and a bright bulb in the other.

But in the end found that DW's LED christmas light string that she likes so much, draped from the valance above our sofa and dinette gives just the right soft glow for evening TV watching and such..... so i hardwired a switch in for that and I think we're good! At least DW is happy.
