Hey All, before I ask I want to thank Dalles for turning me on to the WFCO 9845 converter. I now have lights and batts being charged. So, is there such a thing as a DC 3 way switch? | ||

hmm, like a 120V 3 way light switch or more like an on-off-on? | ||

Not sure what you mean by 3 way, but Cole-Hersee (as well as others) make a heavy duty 4 position battery switch that allows you to select battery #1, Battery #2 or both or OFF. Jack | ||

The answer is yes. I bought several 30 amp 3 way switches recently on ebay. They're available all the time. | ||

I've seen fifth wheel trailers that used standard AC 3 way switches for the DC lights on each end of the living area. I would use Krylon Fusion spray paint to paint the switch and plate a different color so it doesn't get mixed up with the AC switches. | ||

Pretty much any SPDT switch will work. When we bought switches for our DC lighting I bought 50 identical SPDT switches, which also work fine as plain on/off switches. I've got eight of them set up as three-way. -Sean http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com | ||
