Hi Guys,
Have received a lot of information from previous posts and appreciate your kindness!
Our trailer works well so far, the problem is that we could not locate the switch for the porch light...
I looked everywhere inside and outside but could not find it...
So inconvenient ...
Anyone know where should that be normally?

My trailer is creekside 23bhs, the porch light is the black bar under the awning on the top...

I lost the contact information from my dealer and could not find it anywhere on the manual...

Hopefully you experienced guys might know...
Thanks in advance and sorry for this really silly question...

please elaborate....

Our switch is within the main panel and it is labeled "porch". In our previous TT it was one of two switches on the wall directly to the left of the entrance door.

On my 2014 Creekside 20FQ, on the cabinet wall above the sink, facing the back, the left beige switch controls a ceiling light, the right one controls both the front (right) and porch light. Perhaps yours is the same - I doubt they'd have separate switches for both outside lights.

If it were me, I'd mount a switch by the door. But then again sometimes I get a little fancy. I might even make it so I could control it with my smartphone using the Wifi. But probably not 😉

Don't know whether the bulb is burned out or it should be the same switch as the front light?
Will try looking at the light itself to find whether there is a light.
The light itself looks like a bar attached to the wall. From what I could see from ground, there is no switch...
I don't have a picture on hand, sorry.

Thanks to all of you for the kind replies!

Our TT has 2 switches on the left hand upper cabinet, just inside the door. One is for the amber and the other plain outside light.

Is it possible there is a switch on the porch light that is not on so when you try the inside switch the light doesn't go on?

Does the switch for the front of the trailer control the porch light also and the bulb is burned out?

We do have the "all in one service panel", but we tried every one of them...
it does not work...
It has a solar panel switch
switches for:
water pump, water heater by propane, water heater electric
awning, slide out
a ceiling light in the trailer,
a light in the front of the trailer

Could the manufacture forgot to put on a switch?...

Thanks to Mike and Roy for the quick replies!
The switch on the left of my entry door controls the light on the front of the trailer...
might check slide switch on the lamp? it might not be there since it is pretty high...
Will try email them.

I just looked at your manual online. Does your trailer have the "all in one service panel?" Maybe its on there. Is it near the electric awning switch if you have an electric awning? There can't be that many switches to choose from.

mine is also under the top cabinets right next to the door. The ceiling lights switch is located in the same area. On my other POPUP trailer it is a slide switch on the outside lamp it self...

My scare lights is on the back wall of the trailer...

You can always email the trailer manf - Give them your VIN NUMBER...

Don't know about your trailer, but on my Jayco it is the first switch on the left as you enter the door.
