The item in my kit
I bought VictorsHome LW28-63 Changeover Switch as part of my camper van equipment.
The changeover switch belongs to my purchased control hardware. The diary photographs show my actual work organizing device wiring around boxes and entry points before the routes came into the van.
Where it fits my build
On Day 104 I pulled the roof wiring through the PVC route with fish tape and brought the cable groups into the van. I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires passed through.
I also finished the remaining light-wire connections, fitted the junction-box covers, joined the remaining PVC sections and tightened the metal ties around the route.

My build notes
This stage pulled together several earlier sessions of drilling boxes, fitting glands and arranging the roof hardware. The final cable entry was the point where all those separate roof routes met.
My notes show how much of the work was physical organization: pulling cables, keeping entry points accessible and closing boxes after the connections were finished.
The route into the van was a layout problem as much as a wiring task.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The Heschen 125A and VictorsHome 20A alternatives use eight-terminal bodies, changing both terminal layout and current class from the purchased twelve-terminal switch.
Heschen LW28-125 Changeover Switch
This rotary switch uses three selector positions and eight wiring terminals. Its LW28-125 contact assembly belongs to the 125-amp switch class.
