Light switches

[Arctic_fox_Can]

Folks help please. A friend of mine bought a 2008 Fleetwood Quantum 315 RKSA 5th wheel. At the door there is multiple light witches. The top row is a 3 switch bank. They light up when activated but we are unable to determine what these switches actually control. Any help would be soooo much appreciated.We think we have all the rest figured out.

So mystery solved. Yes they are tank warmers. Had to track it all down thru the fuse box. I am betting both grey tanks and the fresh tank are wrapped and the poop tank will not be since you would not really want that warmed up.

Stupid that mfrs don't archive material like this. I had some questions about my Komfort 3-4 years ago and they couldn't/wouldn't answer them. Hell, I was trying to find a small, plastic trim piece that goes in the hole where the spare tire crank handle goes through and they had NO clue to what I was talking about, let alone actually have the part. This was on a 6 y.o. FW...

Those type of switches on our trailer are for outside lights. They light red to remind you when you are inside. We have 2, porch light and scare light.

My second 5th wheel was a KZ. I found several switches hidden in cabinets and didn't have a clue. Finally figured out they were slide out safety switches. Once the slides were in or out if you flipped these switches they would not let the slides be operated from the control panel. You might check this and see if that may be situation you have on your Fleetwood.

Those are some unusual switches (I copied and pasted your pic). I hope someone can help you out with those.

Isn't it grand when manufacturers don't bother to mark switches? (sarcasm)

[Arctic_fox_Can]

Ok here is a picture of the switches. It is the three red ones at the top. We can't figure out what they are for.

A pic would help.

We had 2 switches that the dealer didn't know what they did.

Found out they were speaker switches for the bedroom and outside.

Lighted 12 volt switches usually mean a water heater on switch. With water in the tank, and gas in, turn the switch on and see if the WH attempts to fire.

Just saw AF in his tagline

Donn.
The water heater switch is located in the kitchen on his unit and that works. And amazingly enough it is labeled. Unlike these switches. I should maybe take a picture and post that to help in my quest. Thanks

Call up Arctic Fox and ask them if you don't get an answer here.

Why would the OP call Northwood with questions on a Fleetwood product?

my bet it's tank heaters

[blofgren]

I think you are correct in that they are for tank warming pads. I have seen this in many units over the years.
