????MYSTERY Switch?????

There's a switch mounted in the section over the refrigerator in our camper - not for the frig - we can't figure out what it does /what it's for. Up or down it doesn't seem to operate anything. Are we the only ones to have this mystery or are we just dumb?

    I had a hidden switch way back in the corner of my 5th Wheel which was unmarked... Never knew what it was for...

    Finally one evening I was playing with the switch and the wife came in from outside asking why I was turning OFF and ON the scare light outside... She thought I was trying to get her attention haha

    That switch is something previous owner installed

    Possibly On/Off Switch for a cooling fan in fridge outside compartment???

    It doesn't appear to be a factory switch. Most likely a frig cooling fan or some accessory installed by previous owner like under carriage lighting.
