Cyclone, upgrade light switch to paddle style like came in living room slide out

[Miltp920]

We liked the paddle switch that came in liv room slide, and wanted same paddle switch in bathroom and bedroom. Pics show details. This was easy to do.

I'd like to do this to my Cyclone, as well. Did you pick the switches up locally, or order online?

We did the same, much easier to find in the dark! I found mine online http://www.easternmarine.com/single-modular-spst-on-off-switch-13575

Been doing some online shopping for the same thing. I'm too used to paddle switches in the house so when I'm in the 5er, I keep trying to just touch a switch and not push on it. Thanks for the pictures, been wondering approximately how much room on a smaller wall (like your bath area) it would take and how it would look.

Now to find pancake lights by the dozen for cheap...

We got them from our dealer. Had to send them a picture. They came from Keystone. I think they were about $10 each. We bought ours through Petes RV, Schererville, Indiana. They would have a record of my order. Milton Paquette. This is like for like to slide switch.

Cool, thanks, Milton. I'll call my dealer and see. If they can't I'll give your guy a call. I couldn't find black ones online, just the white ones. Mine are all black in my unit, so I know they exist.

I just threw in a residential paddle from Home Depot. Been working fine for a couple years now.

Residential? Are they AC or DC?

I went the residential way as well. They are DC but that does not matter. You can use an AC switch for DC with out issue. You can not use a DC switch for AC. I added a set of switches for the outside light and the LR lights in my Cyclone.

You just have be sure the amperage is ok still is all. In my case it's only one light in a bathroom. Amps are low. Use the good switches and not the cheapo $1 version and the worse that will happen is it'll fail in the open position.

That is good info. And I learn again, something about my TH. I love this site. Thanks again ALL who are willing to share your experiences.
