04 rockwood 2602 mystery switch?

Hi all,
Last year I purchased a 2005 rockwood 2602. I have finally figured out what all the switches and buttons are for except for 1.
To the right of my slider control and below the gas water heater switch is a switch that illuminates red when turned on. It is not labeled and Im going nuts trying to figure out what it is for.
Someone else told me it might be for the grey/black tank heaters?
Anyhow, any help would be aprreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

If you have tank heaters it could very well be it. I have a rocker switch that lights up red when I have my tank heaters on. If your not sure you have tank heaters look at the bottom of the tanks. It will be a pad glued to the bottom with two wires going to them.

How would I verify having tank heaters? Can I see them from underneath? Is there a possibility of the switch being for elec water heater?
Thank you.

Your switch isn't for the electric water heater. Inside of the outdoor access cover for the water heater, there is a switch that turns on AC power to the water heater. I personally leave mine on all the time- then control on/off function with the breaker in the converter box for the water heater. Much easier to access. Randy

I too do the same thing, It is a sure thing that it is off.
