My 2008 STARCRAFT 14RT has the momentary push button switch that gets depressed when the sink cabinet is folded over. This completes the 12VDC circuit for the ceiling lights in my trailer...
It looks something like this...

The purpose of this switch is to disable the !2VDC going to the ceiling light fixtures when lowering the roof to make for travel or storage mode. My original ceiling lights had the standard 921 incandescent automotive bulbs installed and they got extremely hot when turned on. This could start easily a fire on the top of the tent bed mattress when pushed in for lower the top. My ceiling light fixture actually touch my mattress when the top is lowered.
I replaced my ceiling light fixtures with LED VERSION lights and this is what my ceiling underneath the original light fixture looked like... Both of my ceiling lights looked just like this photo... Those scorch burn marks are from the very hot automotive type bulbs being used...

I have three LED ceiling lights now in my OFF-ROAD trailer. Two on each end of the ceiling and one directly above the kitchen sink area. Mine use the cheap LED boards that you find on-line for $4.95 each. Mine do 'NOT' have the 12VDC DC VOLTAGE REGULATOR chip components on the board. Those type regulators caused RADIO and TV INterference for me so went with a non-regulator board that was spec'd to operate between 9-14VDC operating voltages. Bought extra boards but all has been working just fine since 2009 when I installed them. I used double sided tape to hold the board up inside the light fixture.
