Suburban OEM electric ON/OFF Switch is in the outside compartment
Some RV MFGs install an additional on/off switch INSIDE RV for convenience of owners (OEM Switch is inconvenient but was installed in outside compartment as a safety measure when working on electric element. Propane can be disabled by disconnecting wires on gas valve solenoid)
OEM Switch and Added Switch Inside are wired in series so BOTH have to be ON for electric element to work.
Outside one can be left on and Inside Switch used for turning WH on/off
