I am sure this has been asked, but I have found little to no info on the internet. Can I replace 12v light switches with 110v house switches?
1. To save money
2. I like the look of a clean, white rocker switch over the kind of ugly little switches you see in many RVs.
I feel like my RV looks beautiful and like a house, but then I have these really ugly (my opinion) light switches that look like they belong in a shed.
I know I "can" switch them... But what is the downfall to doing so? Seems like everybody would if there was no problem with it.
Yes! My 1988 Prevost is wired almost exclusively with 120V switches on all the 12V fixtures. If they fail prematurely, I guess that would be something beyond 30 years as a number appear to be original.
