Thanks

Buy a tent and threaten them with it..

That panel is on my very short list with Winnie. It NEEDS illumination! It's me who always messes them up trying to get things turned on in the dark.

Hi peter, that's one weird problem. Hope someone has some ideas. I'm stumped. Had the grankids for a full week in the MH and never had that problem.

Drop a little rubber water faucet washer behind light switch. It's child and drunk proof. An 1/8" rubber band type bungee cord around the other two switches prevent movement of those two switches. Neither item should present a choking issue for the drunks and most kids know better.
