2D 8" 16"
more clues please
many will only post out at your peril as they are so fragile, prolly best going to a local lighting shop who will be able to get what you want.
Over here, shops such as Comet have tubes as do maplin and some DIY chains.
Mail order places like cpc will have exactly what you are after.
also Screwfix
EDIT>>
p.s. no such thing as a 12v fluorescent tube, the lamp is 12v the tube is universal.

As dog watch says the tubes are not specifically 12volt. Maplin, as he also says, are one source. They do 8watt (12"), 4watt (6"), 22watt circular, 16watt 2pin 2D, 16watt 4pin 2D and 28watt 4pin 2D.
I would expect to find these and others in a good lighting shop and big DIY stores.

Go you your local electrical wholesaler, or DIY store. They will have them in-stock. The usual size is, as has been posted, 8watt or 16watt.

There is no such thing as a 12V fluorescent tube, it is the fitting that runs on 12V. What you need is a regular fluorescent tube. Try http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs-Tubes/T5-5-8th-Inch-Diameter

I never knew that, so does that mean you can use any 8w tube that fits your 8w lamp, I don't have to go to caravan shops for them then?

No you don't. As I said (above), go to your electrical wholesaler (or DIY store). As long as it is an 8watt tube, or 16watt if it is the longer tube, you will get it "off the shelf".
