I am upgrading my LP 6g water heater that doesn't work with a dual LP/Eletric heater from Atwood. The question/ issue I ran into is my 120 panel doesn't have room to add another breaker. I saw on a youtube video a rocker switch someone was using to switch between the microwave and the eletronic water heater. Basically, you can either have 120 going to microwave or the heater but not both.
Has anyone else done this or can help me figure out the correct switch to buy? I will already have the lighted LP/electronic switch (12v) for turning the heater on and off. Just need to supply the 120v.
Heard double pull/double throw and also 3 way on-off-on switch, but can't figure out which iOS the correct one.
Thank you in advance for your feedback and nay links that might help me.
My Bigfoot has the microwave/electric hot water switch.....looks like a light switch. I can pull it and check the wiring if you need.
That would be great! If is has any markings on brands and how it's wired. I did pickup a dual single slot breaker, but I'm still worried the wife may not turn one off to turn one on and then poof popped breakers.
Thank you everyone for the responses.
