"Best Practice" is to hire a pro, or at least KNOW what everything does.
GD usually has the white wires as Neutral and the color stripped Positive. (The joined pair helps simplify things so you can keep track of both sides of a circuit.) To confirm, test the voltage from a part to a known point like some frame metal. RVs like cars use negative, frame and ground all connected. If you don't own a multimeter now is the time to buy one, any cheap thing will do. Given the way RVs are built testing is the only way to really know what's what.
I don't have those switches, but John says the center spade goes to the light. That would make the bottom one +12v input. Again testing to be sure is smart. One of the whites also goes to the light, the other eventually goes to the fuse box. Non-lit switches don't use a neutral line so they get lost in the tangle.
Beware that most dimmers use different color codes. 120v systems, automotive and most Chinese products are all different colors from each other and from GD wires! I've even seen printed instructions differ from stickers on the dimmer. (the sticker was correct) Usually you can't damage lights or dimmers with wiring mistakes, just make sparks, smoke and blow fuses.
Good luck!Rick
