3 way DC switch
by Pauldb51 » Sat Jun 28, 2014 1:04 am
folks I am looking for some DC 3 way switches. I want to be able to switch on the porch lights (both sides) from either side of the camper and the same with the dome light, can any one out there point me in the right direction. I thought about using a house hold 3 way switch but they are too deep and I'm sure some of those RV's out there have a similar system but can't seem to find what i'm looking for HELP

Any single pole double throw switch will work. I did a quick search and found this switch:

It has a center off position which you may find handy (or not). It's also rated for DC (AC switches aren't as robust as DC switches) but if yer just running a small light I doubt an AC switch would give you any trouble.
I suspect the big box stores should have em in stock.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gus
