Mystry Switch

Hello all, I am a newbie to the forum and a newbie at owning my own trailer. We recently purchased a 2010 Cherokee 29U, and well I guess I didn't pay enough attention when we walked thru as too what a specific switch does. It is next to the monitoring panel where we can see fresh water battery etc., it is not identified by any markings, you flip the switch on and it lights up, but I am not sure what is controls. Our pump and heater switches are on the monitoring panel. I will try and get a picture tonight and post it on the thread. thanks in advance.

That switch would be to start/run your water heater on propane.

Some trailers the switch is labeled and others are not. The switch for my water heater is not labeled, just a black rocker switch that lights up when first clicked on.

On a 7 year old trailer, maybe there was a label when it was new.

I thought he had already identified his water heater switch.
