Looking for a Weather Proof Exterior "Switch Box"

[CoreyPerez]

Hey guys,



I just put some Work Lights & Reverse Lights on my 18' car hauler, now I'm wondering if there are any exterior weather proof boxes that would beable to hold some interior toggle switches for operation of these lights? When driving wreckers, they just used plain old toggle switches that usually rusted in about a year and would either be stuck on or off, depending on the switch's position. I'm really wanting to mount these switches near the hitch, and have an little box to open up and access the switches. Any suggestions would be great!



Thanks,



Corey

I have thought about using the smallest pelican case to do this on my boat for similar reasons. you can then get watertight passthrough connections to go through the box. Switches could be mounted in the cover. I have also seen some plastiic project boxes that could be used, but pelican cases are real tough.



I trust my hunting rifle to ride the airlines in one.

You could use a 120V outdoor light switch.

Now THAT is a good idea!



I may have to make a run to Lowes!



Thanks,

Check with the local electrical supply house. I have used some nice plastic boxes with plastic covers so the switch is totaly hidden from the elements. Good luck
