I need a start/stop switch in our dash for our Onan LP in a 97 Beaver Monterey. I went to camping world they sent me to Cummins/Onan they sent me to another RV place which gave me Monaco's number then a company called Actia they gave me a compnay called Sprague which gave me another number. Actia said they had the switch but was around 50.00 with shipping.They said Sprague makes the switch but I can't find a company in my area? Any ideas?

Jim,
Is there any way to make the Onan switch work until you can find the one your looking for??

If I can't find one I will try to see what wires control what items and then try whatever switch I can find. The current switch only uses the top 2 and the right 3. I have a dealer looking for 1 and I don't need it right away. Thanks for the help

There is your answer. Pay the man and move on to something more important. The price is $10 high, but he has it and you don't!!!!

Look on the side of the switch with a mag lens and see if it is a Carling mfgr. If so they have a web site and I might be able to help.
