Question:

The electric switch for the hot water heater is currently located on the water heater outside the RV. I would like to move the switch to the control panel next to the water heater gas switch inside the RV. Will this switch work.

Yes, a single on/off rocker switch like the # 37213685 will work great for a water heater switch. It can be used with the faceplate part # 37212855, or it will fit in any cutout 1-1/8" x 9/16"
