Bought a new to us 2015 Lifestyles LS36FW 5th wheel that has a led light strip on the front cap. Any one know where they hid the light switch for this light on this unit?

Our Grand Design has outside lighting switches at the front cap by the landing fear switch and in the basement at the water hook up and dump valves. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !

Dealer did verify that it was the switch in the bigfoot jack panel and said these lights were prone to burning out. Checked for power at lights and it is there. Hard to believe the whole strip went out a once.

I've searched in all the compartments and the only switch i have found turns on 2 small led lights that shine down by pin box. I am going to try and find a dealer that carried Lifestyles RV before their demise and see if anybody remembers where there was a switch. Thanks for all the idea's

My switch for my docking lights are inside the compartment on the door side where the battery and hydraulic pump are.

Our Cougar 327RES's decorative front cap LED strip switch is right in the hallway as you come in.
BUT...
You can also activate some of the exterior lights from the remote control palm unit (it operates slides, awning, landing gear and lights)
but here is the kicker...
if you activate lights with the remote it bypass' the manual switches. Which means if you turn on with the remote; you must turn off with the remote, wall switches will not operate.

Our Redwood has a strip of LED's across the upper portion of the front cap. On the under side of the cap, next to the pinbox are 2 switches... 1 is for that strip, and the other is for the hitching up LED . .

Look on the wall in the front pass through storage.

Our 2014 Alpine has the led strip to light up at night during hitching. The switch is in the battery compartment on the rear bulkhead.

We found our switch next to the compartment under the front cap. We didn't know what it was for quite awhile, and someone else pointed it out!

If your trailer has the newer auto level system like ours made buy Lippert you have a function on the LED screen that has your leveling, slides, awning and light...

The light function on the screen is for the light on your front cap and nothing else, strange but true ...

Safe travels

All my exterior lights are on the main control panel with the water pump, water heater, etc.

If it's not there, only other logical place I can think of is up front near the cap, maybe inside the front bay or somewhere on the exterior in that area.

My LED lights on the cap have the switch on the control panel where all my drain valves and water hook ups are.
