Hello Everyone.I hope you can help. I want to replace a rocker switch in my control panel of my 2015 Roo.The switch I want to swap out is for the interior light over the dinette. It works fine but when returning to the camper in the dead of dark, the Mrs and daughter end up pressing ever other button on the control panel until I enter.So I am looking for an illuminated 12 v switch that stays illuminated when on and most importantly when off. This will enable them to find the correct switch immediately upon entering.I have found illuminated switch but they are only illuminated when powered on.Any suggestions?Happy Camping!!

just get them a keychain flashlight

I have the same issue with my Roo, except mine is the kitchen light that works off the rocker switch. If someone finds one that is illuminated A) When off, or B) Always illuminated, I would love to install it. Plan B will be to just put a little LED night light there to illuminate the panel.

Choo ChooMy second option is to put a small LED nite lite above the control panel but not my desire. Than means we have to remember to turn it on before leaving.

They are readily available. There are several dimensions/styles of low voltage switches as well. Do a google on "illuminated RV switch" and you'll find lots of them. If near a dealer or independent RV parts store, they can get you one.One thing to know about an illuminated switch is that you'll need a 12 volt DC source that is always on. If all you have is two wires at the switch, you'll need to get another wire to the switch with power that is always on. The switch will have 3 terminals on the rear like in the photo.

The illuminated switch has three terminals.One is a groundOne with power One with the load.The light will be on if the power to the switch is applied to the correct incoming power terminal and not the load side.

One is a ground
One with power
One with the load.
