Member Crossthread had a switch fail when we were camped outside of Tucson. After cranking the RV up by hand, we removed the switch and figured out how to jumper the wires manually so we could hook it again. Montana dealer didn't have the identical switch but one from another RV (Monaco as I recall) was available and it had a higher load capacity. The bad news was the switch was slightly larger than original. The careful use of a file to trim off the excess material resulted in it fitting perfectly. I am pretty sure the technical name for the switch is Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT). You can Google DPDT to see how it works.
