Toggle or Rocker Switches?

I can't think of even one advantage to a rocker switch.

A really good extension for a toggle switch that is important to find in a hurry is a piece of clear (Or colored) plastic tubing a bit longer than the toggle.

It is cheap, easy to install and won't break off or cause the toggle to break.

I like the toggles on my left side control panel, but I like rockers, too.  I'm using rocker switches for all my conversion switches. The Contura switches from Waytek make a very nice installation. Yes, you have to cut a rectangular hole that's exact, but
with a little effort and a good jigsaw, it's not too difficult. Here's a photo of my recent leveling system switch installation on the
dash....

My dash has all rocker switches.  I've memorized the location of all the important switches like the cruise switches and the Jake brake switches.  I can find them by feel.  All of my rocker switches have lights in them.

I've never had toggle switches so I have no opinion on which are best.

I used rocker switches for everything in my coach sorta like what Craig did.  A buddy of mine runs a laser at a machine shop so I had him cut holes in stainless steel switch plates that the switches fit into.  I mounted regular electrical boxes in the stud wall around the bathroom and found creative ways to mount the switch plates in other locations.

Did I write toggles?  My mind is going....I can feel it....I can feel it.  I meant rockers.   AUGGHHHHH!  CROWNS FOREVER!!!  :) :) :)
