garage switches on a 29 ft xlr hyper lite

There is 4 switches in a row on the wall in the garage and then 2 switches directly above them. Can someone tell me what these 2 switches are for?

On my 2016 29HSF, I have one larger switch at the top which raises/lowers the electric beds/dinette. Another larger switch a few inches below that one that turns on power to the outside fuel station (have to also turn on the fuel pump with the switch outside next to the fuel gauge). Then a few inches below that one there are 4 of the regular sized ones all in a row. the Left one operates the rear overhead ramp door/backup lights. the 2nd from the left operates the garage area overhead lights. the 3rd from the left operates the overhead exhaust fan in the garage area. and the last one operates the fuel station overhead light. When I got my new trailer home it took almost an hour figuring out which switch did what.

My older 29 is different ... Happijac on single switch
The lower 4 are : garage ceiling light, garage fan, outside light by door, and ramp flood lights.The fuel switch for mine is by the cooktop.

This is my exact set up as well. Good luck figuring it all out!

Our hew 29hfs has the same switches. The top two control the aux fuel pump and the tank heaters. I think the left one is the master switch for the Aux fuel station pump. There is another switch out by the fuel hose that is an emergency shut-off switch.

The lower four switches control the garage ceiling fan, overhead lights, loading ramp lights (same as back-up lights) and an outside light by the aux fuel station. On mine, the third switch is the overhead lights, but I haven't paid attention to the other switches enough to know which is which. If I were to speculate, I'd say (left to right) fuel station light, ceiling vent fan, overhead lights, then loading ramp light.

the 4 switches are pretty straight forward , flip on a switch and a light comes on or a fan, this could be inside or outside the garage, then you have your fuel station and light for that, but I bet theres one that you can’t figure out and that would be your tank heaters, if you open up your switch panels you will see a heavy duty wire that goes to your fuse panel about a 20 amp or so, thats the one I changed to a lighted switch so I would know when it was on and know that it was for the tank heaters

On my 2018 29hfs the switches are basically as already stated. The bank of two switches controls the fuel station (left one when looking at them in my trailer) and the other controls the tank heaters. On the bank of 4 (looking at them from left to right) mine are overhead light, fuel station light, fan, ramp lights. I would imagine that it could be different from trailer to trailer depending on which installer plugged the wires on the back of the switches. So, as mentioned previously, you should just flip them one at a time and notate what comes on. To determine which of the inside switches is for the fuel station versus tank heater, you can look at the outside fuel station switch to see when it lights up based on which of the two inside switches you flip on.
