Re: Water Heater Switch Wiring
Well, I found my answer on another forum and thought I'd post it here in case someone else wants to do this. The power to the wall switch needs to be 12v and that means wiring in a relay. I mounted the relay in the water heater compartment inside the camper and ran my 12v wire to it. I spliced the 110v line through the relay so now I have an easy way to turn on and off the electric hot water heater. This modification only cost me about $15 for the double wall switch and relay. Don't know why they didn't do this from the factory.
I'm also going to mount a couple of 12v LED indicator lights I bought at Radio Shack into the switch so it'll be easy to tell what is turned on at a glance.
Happy Camping!
