Northern Lite ?

I have a 2016 Northern Lite and there is a rocker switch that I cannot figure out what it is for. When you enter the door on the right wall there is a switch for rear awning in and out.Right next to it is a rocker switch that says on and off. Anyone know what this switch does?
Thanks
John

The switch does indeed turn on and off a row of LED lights built into the rear awning thanks for the help.

Truck campers have different lighting fixtures on the outside than travel trailers. Northern Lite doesn't use round scare lights like that.

As are the Northwood manuals. They give their AF manual as a standard booklet. Complete with text running off the page. Contains nothing but very basic camper info. Nothing specific to my model. Laughable.

The LED light in the awning was an upgrade in 2016, so his build sheet should have it listed on it.

Nobody reads owner's manuals, and how dare you suggest such a thing?

On my trailer I found an unmarked switch like that so I was turning it off and on and trying to listen for something like maybe the water pump comin off and on.. Then the wife comes in from outside and asked my there was birght lights on the rear of the trailer coming on and off. These are the two so called scare lights mounted up high on each side of my trailer...

You can see where my 8-inch scare light is located on this flagstaff trailer... One on each side...


If it isn't your BATTERY DISCONNECT - Go check your scare lights out as well if you have them...

I have a 2016 NL as well. It's for the LED light that is built into the rear awning. You won't be able to see it unless you open the awning all the way out because it's installed horizontally in the roller and casts light back onto the rear of the TC. Hopefully that makes sense
