Very nice! Does anyone know of a guard that could be placed over one of these rocker switches on the panel? My rig has the slideout switch in line with other rocker switches that are identical. It's easy to hit the wrong switch in the middle of the night and hear the slide begin to move! I'm thinking of a hinged flip-up type of cover, similar to what's in an airplane cockpit to guard emergency switches.
One possible solution, not necessarily the best, is to add a separate slide master power switch of a type not readily turned on inadvertently such as by having a molly guard or (my preference) a big red push-pull emergency stop switch.
(A "molly guard" is a common name for some sort of switch protector, supposedly named after someone's young daughter who liked to play with switches that should not have been played with.)
