I want to rewire my water heater to have the on/off switch inside my trailer. Currently the switch is in the water heater housing which I don't like. The easiest way is to run a new switch wire from inside to the heating element and keep the switch at the water heater in the ON position at all times What bothers me is what else does the on board on/off switch controll, like the thermostat or some safety censor. Would appreciate y'all's expert advice before I burn my camper to a crisp.
The thermostat is not controlled by the "on board on/off switch".
You are safe to wire a new switch in series with the existing on/off switch located at the water heater.
