I have my own bladder issues, but that's one reason I like having a trailer with a head.

Speaking of the porch light... Why isn't it over the porch?

The only time I ever used my "porch light," I forgot it and left it on all night.  I don't think I'll use it any more.  If I had a light on the switch to tell me it was on, I'd probably just ignore it.

The ones used for the water pump and heater have internal lighting. No reason that switch shouldn't work for the outside light as well.

Excellent point and good campground etiquette. I enjoy all the improvements and ideas I get from this forum. My unit is better than when I bought it.

No need for an indicating switch for the bath light, the bath light being on is its own indicator. GlueGuy, you could just swap switches.Tongue I agree that would require a ground connection for the indicator light. Should be able to fish one up the wall there I would think, or maybe just pick it off the tank indicator panel.  

Neither of my switches are indicating and I often forget to turn off the outside light too, anyone know the part number for the indicating switch?

We're always forgetting that we left the porch light on. That's why I would prefer the indicating type switch.

In the 2017 180 both are 2 pin non indicating the only difference one is labeled on/off the other no label. It will be good to get a replacement since mine is starting to go.
