Old selector switch

Does anyone remember the old electrical isolation selector switch in the 280 motorhomes? Due to the limited power supply of 30 amps it allowed you to select between the AC, the blender, and in latter years, the microwave oven, and other functions. I'm adding a microwave to my 'new' 77 Sovereign. I'm afraid running the AC and microwave together will trip the power out. Are there old selector switches available on the aftermarket, or a modern version of the same out there somewhere? Thanks, Eric

If you’re only selecting between two loads, you can easily use a “three-way” hallway light switch for about $4.00.

The source from the 120 volt ac breaker would go to the common terminal, and each load would connect to one of the other two.

Sold at homey depot, low’s, or any hardware store.
