I don't think so.
I think there is some other reason for "Scare Lights". But what the heck.

Okay, I have a question, I am not being a smart a$$ or anything like that, I'm not stirring the pot, I'm a Class A guy and hear about these scare lights all the time on trailers, 5ers in particular. My question is why do trailers have them and normally Class A's don't.

I suspect it is because on a trailer, whether regular trailer or 5th wheel, if something "goes bump in the night" you must get out of your RV to get to the truck to "get out of Dodge". Those lights light up the darkness pretty good and might "scare" the intruder away or at least let you see them and let them know you are aware.
In a motorhome, all you do is take a seat in the drivers seat, turn the key and you are gone! No need to go outside and see what the commotion is.

I don't have remotes for anything but electronics. I installed amber LEDs with a remote to illuminate our steps and inside the stair well on our old rig, but no big ole 8" lights. We even have red lights inside so as to protect our night vision when out in the boonies.

Now I know what is causing the porch light on my Heartland Elkridge to come on. I just bought it (used) a couple of months ago and thought maybe the switch was bad. Now, I'm sure it is the remote doing it. Thanks!!!!!

There are three solutions.
1. Put the remote where it will not be accidentally activated
2. Remove the battery from the remote
3. Disconnect the 12V wire that controls the light from the "brain" in the front storage area.
Check out the free to join Montana Owners Club www.montanaowners.com There are over 10,000 members there with answers to all things Montana questions. There are numerous discussions there on the remote and its peculiarities.

There IS a RESET button in the front storage - it should have a red
arrow on it.
When I replaced my battery I had to go thru the WHOLE program to find the corresponding action to the # on the remote. For example - set up incorrect and you push the slide out signal - and the awning would come out. I spent some trial and error time to get mine all reset - so I wrote the instruction down - in case it happened again.
I got no help from Keystone, or dealer. I finally found a link to remotes on a Heartland page. Goto heartland page & look up remote it probably is still there. It controls Lights, frnt & rr legs, slide outs & awning on mine - some have other things depending on how your unit is configured.
Sorry I dont have a link, but I printed the one I found and it's in my Keystone Cougar HC - 100 mi. away.
Hope this helps.

I believe it is a lippert remote -(but could be wrong on that)

I would inspect the connections around the controller board wherever that is located haha...
You could always just pull the main 12VDC fuse in the panel that is controlling this and use that for your turning on and off as needed until you find the real problem...
Those outside 8-inch DC lights are sometimes called scare lights. You should be able to find a named fuse zone in your fuse panel that only controls those lights. My trailer has two installed up high on each side of the trailer close to the rear of the trailer. I imagine the DOT RUles would prevent any of those light installed on the rear wall of the trailer just for the reason you are stating here that come on by themself sometimes... That would be a big DOT Safety violation if this happened being pulled down the public roads...
My 2008 Flagstaff has them installed like shown here in this on-line google photo. Mine are controlled by a standard ON-OFF switch from inside the trailer... I am assuming this is the security lights you are referring too...

I suggest you think back a bit and figure out when it came on last. Then figure out what was occurring with your cell or i-phone at that same time.
