Where's the floodlight switch?

Anybody got a Coachmen Captiva 281RBS? That's what my TT is, and for the life of me I can't figure out where the switch is for the rear floodlight. I don't ever really need to use it, but I would like to know how to turn it on or off. I've had this trailer for a year and I can't figure it out. I've called the dealer I bought it from and they told me the obvious stuff like "look under the cabinets or in the bathroom", but it's not there. I replaced the bulb thinking it may come on when the porch light is on and it was just burned out, but that didn't work. Anybody got a clue? Thanks!

Could it be one of those automatic ones that turns itself on after dark when there is motion in the vicinity? Otherwise you will have to find someone that has a TT just exactly like yours. Is there a Coachman Captiva forum somewhere?

The propane fill light on my TT has a built in switch.

Only help I can offer is turn ALL switches on to see if the light comes on. Start turning them off until it goes off.

I have a switch that I have no idea what it's for :(

Okay, since there are no responses, I'll rephrase the question.

What are some of the locations you've seen the floodlight switch in your own trailers? I'm referring to the floodlight found on the back side of some TT's, not the porch light. Thanks!
