I have a 2003 Pace Arrow 37a. The rocker switch for the water pump on the main control panal broke. The control panal has all the controls for my water pump, battery disconnects, water levels, ac/heat thermostats, and slideout controls on it. I am looking for a replacement switch. The switch is a swann 23 black momentary switch. The cut out size is about 1/2 X 3/4 (19.3 x 13.2) with 2 posts on the back. I have searched the internet but am unable to find this switch avaliable for sale anywhere. I have found swanns site but the give no indication of a vendor. The company is based in AU so reall don't want to make an international call. I have emaild them. Anyone have any ideas where I may be able to locate one of these switches.

I need some of the same switches. Fleetwood no longer has the switches, Lazy Days can't find them. I contacted the factory that made them. They no longer make them. Does anybody know of a vendor??? Thanks

I found this site for switches and found one to suit my needs it may help you.

Rocker Switches for DC or AC Switching

Apparently the origional switches are no longer in production. This site offers a variaty of switches all you need is to know the dimensions, get the voltages from the origional you should be able to match up what will work for your application like I did.

I've found replacements for all my switches here:
Rocker Switches, Remote Control Systems items in GAMA Electronics Inc store on eBay!

How about this guy? Many other options such as lit up, colored, or marked on/off also.

Linky

Less than $1 a piece. And they have fast shipping, if you order before 8pm central it will ship the same day. Also no min order so you can order one if you like and it should be there quickly.

Don't ask how I know so much about them....

Thanks I found my switch at another site. On word of caution to others reading this thread many switches in our rv's are momentary switches never replace a momentary switch with a on off style switch. The switch I needed was a momentary spst.

Oh yes, a good warning. I misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying.

I would like to thank everyone who posted in the above threads. Some links I couldn't access (gov. computer) but they pointed me in a direction that was ultimately successful. The Fleetwood people and others they directed me to were also very helpful. I ultimately found a replacement for this discontinued switch after spending quite a lot of time searching.

In hopes of saving someone else the trouble, here is what I wound up getting from the DIGI-KEY Electronics company in MN (www. digikey.com). The switch is an OFF/Momentary ON, SPST, Part # EG1512-ND. It's the same size as the original and looks the same. It cost less than $5 even with shipping costing more than the part. Shipped immediately and got to me fast in San Diego. The only part I didn't like was when ordering, the website has you place the order with out committing to a shipping cost. They did in fact use the cheapest and most appropriate charge, but these days one never knows. If I wasn't so eager to finish this project I would have probably kept looking elsewhere. But it all worked out.

I know this is an old thread, but since the switch is discontinued and a lot of rigs out there still use this panel, I'm confident this will be useful once again.

I hope this helps someone in turn. Thanks again to those who helped me.

R/,
Mike.
