Question 1

What lights does LITESWICH turn on?

Accepted Answer

Your camper/RV has lights built in to it that you cannot turn on unless you are plugged in to your truck or with Liteswich.  These are the yellow/orange/red running lights.  The Liteswich allows you to use the 12 volt power and lights already in your camper to allow 360 ground vision around your camper while set up in the campground and no longer connected to your truck.

Liteswich also powers most RV cameras - rear view cameras and side view cameras that use the same power source as your running lights.

Question 2

I've seen other campers with their lights on. Don't my camper lights already turn on?

Accepted Answer

Have you been to a campground and seen a camper or RV with all of their exterior running / marker / parking lights on - but the camper wasn't plugged in to a truck?  They probably had a Liteswich!  People spend hundreds of dollars on exterior lighting and customization of their campers.  Liteswich allows you switch on the marker, clearance and taillights of your camper that can normally only be  turned on when the camper is plugged in to your truck.   Your camper doesn't come with the ability to turn these lights on you need Liteswich to do it!

Question 3

How does LITESWICH work?

Accepted Answer

Foolproof connection - uses the 7 pin wiring connection you normally plug in to your truck.  Will ONLY work with campers that have a 7 pin connection.  
After you set up your camper just plug in the Liteswich .  Switch the power switch and on come your lights including the amber and red lights on the front, side and rear.
Uses the 12v power from your camper (uses the battery if not plugged into shore power) to power the lights.
Requires the 12v battery that RV's and campers come built in with to be installed, charged, and any on/off switches for the battery to be in the "on" position.  Will also work off shore power if a battery is installed.

Question 4

What if my LITESWICH doesn't work?

Accepted Answer

While very few people have a problem with their Liteswich there are common things that may need checking.  Please contact us with any problems you have, but you can check the following things first.  Liteswich should be a direct plug in and work - if it doesn't there may be a problem with either a fuse in your camper or with the Liteswich.  Most often if the lights don't come on when using Liteswich we find one of the following fixes the problem:
 
* Make sure the Liteswich is properly seated on the cord.  We find it very common that the connections can be a bit tight to start with which is good - just make sure it is seated properly.  There is a tab that will snap down and hold the Liteswich on your plug when seated properly - just give it an extra push to make sure it's all the way connected.

* If you are able to, go to another nearby camper and try the Liteswich on another RV if you are camping.  If it works on this other camper the issue that needs fixing is almost positively within the camper that it isn't working on.
 
* Ensure that your camper has a power source - the Liteswich has no power in it, rather it uses the power already in your camper.  If your camper is plugged in to electricity it will use the inverter to charge the battery and power the lights.  If it is not plugged in it just will use the battery to power the lights.  Many campers require a battery to be hooked up regardless, even when you are plugged in to electricity at the campground for this to work.

* Ensure that all fuses and breakers in the power center in your camper are working properly and not blown.  If your lights work when plugged in to your truck this should not be the problem.
 
* One common problem found when the switch isn't initially working is that one of your main fuses coming off of the battery is blown.  This will keep the Liteswich from working.  If this fuse is blown it also will keep your electric brakes from working in the emergency if your camper becomes separated while towing.  This fuse may also keep your electric tongue jack from working when the RV is not plugged in. This is an in line fuse coming directly off of the battery, possibly to your tongue jack on travel trailers, and then back.  Most people don't even know this fuse exists, but it has a very important function in the event of an emergency.
 
Should your Liteswich be found defective after trying these few troubleshooting tips we will ship out a new one as soon as possible.  Along with that we will ship out return postage for the old one so that we can investigate the problem for quality control.
