It seems that the placement of those switches in the bathroom isn't the only 'misthought"
It seems that there are a number of design 'placements' that were installed without any thought to the dynamics of usage.
One wonders what the design team is thinking, if indeed they DID think at all!😬

Yeah, like the things that I have had to fix that I could not access without cutting holes:
- Gray tank dump valve
- Black tank dump valve
- Low point drain valves
- Shower drain
- Front door frame hinge bolts

Let me think a little bit, and I'll come up with more.... just remember, you started this.

Oh that is painful

Update:

Pumped in some more pink stuff - pump seems to work fine

Whew

Gonna get a backup for later though - thanks everyone

I may have a different control panel than you but I added a lighted switch (blue) to see when it was on. It provides at least a visual.

Great idea - I plan on doing something to help me remember
