I did not add a new switch. Instead, I just used the existing switch on the monitor panel. I thought about putting the dual switch somewhere else since I didn’t want to change the existing appearance of the monitor panel, but instead I just used the existing monitor panel switch. Consequently, I can’t disable ONLY the electric via the switch since that switch now controls both the gas and electric. Now once I get around to it I’ll run 120v from a dedicated breaker, so it will be easy to shut the electric off should I ever want to.
I don’t have my trailer wiring in front of me. However, from looking at the first post in this thread that talks about the wiring colors, the only option for using the existing switch for both gas and electric would be to connect the trailer’s yellow wire (12V) to both the water heater’s orange and white wires.
