Random switches questions



I attached a picture can someone possibly help me identify these switches? I'm curious if possibly they could turn on my vacuum that is built in, and then I also have 1 big light on the front side and back side of my trailer is that what they could be for?

I looked in my manual and couldn't find anything just would like to find out so that I can fix it.

Thanks for your all your help in advance!!

    Are these what are referred to as docking lights? If so I do have 2 one on each side of my trailer.

    I have tried everyone's suggestions thus far can't test wires till this weekend cause I need to get my voltage meter from home.

    I made a post about this this AM but I dont see it. Odd.

    Mine has switches like yours. Label reads:

    "Caution: Slide-out override switches MUST be in the ON position at all times except when using the manual override. Failure to do so may allow the slide-out rooms to move out during travel."

    If you have an outdoor receptacle mounted high up by the awning, one could be that. It is intended to plug awning lights into.

    Crazy that they are not labeled.

    Could be anything, including tank heaters, which would not make any noise.

    Our built in vacuum turns on when you insert the hose into the receptacle. Ours is a Red Devil. I don't know if they are all like that. Perhaps one of those is for a tank heater.

    Turn them on and look and listen:
    Check fuse panel or breaker for any blown fuses
