I pulled/pried the stuck switch out using a tool with a 90 degree hook on the end.

I had a rv mechanic doing other stuff and had him look at it.
He took the switch with the short wires and lifted up and out. More wire came out the hole.

He lengthen the wires to reach inside the rv to the water heater cover.
I'm currently looking for a indicator light switch to install on the cover.

It will be nice to have an indoor 110 volt switch for the hot water heater.
Thanks, for everyone's input!!!
