Replacing lighted rocker switch for 110v water heater

I have a 2009 Winnebago View. The light in the rocker switch for the Atwood electric water heater, doesn’t work. The heater seems to work, but without the light I am worried about forgetting to turn it off. I did replace this a couple of years ago, but the dealer can no longer find the part.
Made by American Technology Components. Mine is brown, but colour doesn’t really matter. MDI- ABS-098. (could be MOI. Hard to read).
I called the company but they have not yet responded.
Any ideas as to where I might find one?

What you need is a pilot switch and if you don't hear back from the manufacturer we can help you locate one if you give us a pic and the ratings off the back of the switch, and possibly the measurements. We need to know the ratings because it could be switching the entire load or just a relay which is a fraction of the load, and we don't know if it is 12 or 120 volts. Many are a 12 volt pilot switch that energizes a relay that in turn energizes the 120 volt element.

We might need to get down to the real details on which model and floor plan you have but the switch is likely to be a somewhat common item.
This is a link to one discusion of the switch and might be correct info if looking the same.

General part number for the 2009 view seems to be 135740-06-cht but that is prone to change over time as they get different suply.

Bigb is right, take a picture of the side of the switch with the specs, zoom-in to plainly see that and post that please.
I did that, then searched the web for those numbers and found a match.

I am in need of the same type of switch for my 07 Meridian. I called the good folks at Lichtsinn RV and the person in parts knew right away what the switch was and said they have in stock. Give them a call.
