SPST Toggle Switch for 12VDC Compressor

April 20, 2013, 10:15:28 pm

Due to the coach sitting for a month or two, I installed a SPST switch to disable the compressor, have disconnected it before, the slide seal stays inflated, I set the coach down on bottom, (Coach is inside my garage on a flat concrete floor), so no need to run the compressor to keep pressure up.  When I am ready to hit the road, I will flip the switch back to ON.
This is my man cave, and the comprssor running every 6-8 hrs bothers me a little, so time to do it.  SO did it today.

Good ideas travel around.  I did the same thing today! 

Also installed a switch on the blower fan in the electronics bay.  The fan was replaced at FOT last month after the original froze up.  The new appears to be mechanically a duplicate but boy is it loud!  The noise seems to just be from air movement not any mounting vibration.  You can clearly hear it inside the coach - so I wanted to be able to shut it off.
