Multiple switches for water pump

In our Fleetwood Tioga SL "C" class we had a main switch in the panel and secondary switch in the bathroom. That was a real conveience when I forgot to turn it on.

All our other RVs only had one switch on the panel. I wanted to add another switch. Then someone told me just to keep the switch on. So I do and we always have water. :D

Maybe a wireless remote. I knew a guy who put one on his rotophase so he could control it from anywhere in his shop. Craig

yep, getting the mechanical parts is a small part of the problem.

I added a second switch to our camper's pump a few year ago. We use it all of the time.

Running new wiring in a already built RV can be a daunting task.

There are two ways..

One is to run a latching relay as someone up-thread suggested, This means replacing the switch with a 3=position switch, spring return to center, Depending on teh latching relay will determine the switch but a common one I know of you apply power one way to "CLOSE" and another way to "OPEN" This is the kind you need. This would require running 3 wire cable to each switch SPDT Spring return to center (ON)off(ON). switch. (The prens around (ON) mean momentary).

Option 2 is to use multi-way house switches, Basically the hookup is like this

Original

Fuse---switch---pump

new

Fuse---Switch #1======Switch#2======Switch#3====Last switch----Pump

Note the two wires between the switches

not also that though the 1st and last switches are common 3-way switches, teh two I put in the middle are hen's teath,, (hard to find) you may have to special order those.

will that let you turn the pump on at one location and then off at another?

Yes
