Regardless, if you have a modern 4-pronged 220V outlet in your garage for a welder or a dryer, it is COMPATIBLE with the 50A plug on a Class A RV.
One common mistake people make is wiring up a 30A RV outlet as if it were an older 3-prong 220V welder/dryer outlet. That's BAD. It will fry your RV in short order.
Odds are the original poster probably just has a bad connection in the 12V light switch. Unplugging the RV won't prevent heat buildup because it is pulling the electricty off the battery.
