The Mysterious Switch
Just got this 2012 Flagstaff MAC BR28TSC Tent camper/toy hauler and I have this switch that is by the fuse center and inverter just to the right of Propane CO detector that I am having no luck finding out what this toggle switch is for????? I’m stumped. Previous owner had no clue as he did not use the camper very much and did not have much luck with finding a manual. Thanks for any help in advance.

I like batt disconnect but seems a little small for a main switch maybe controls a relay for batt disconnect.

I agree jar, does look small. Mine is a pull out type switch, not a small one like this. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Thanks for all the input folks. As you may have got this but the unit is new to me and I can't understand that their is no clue in any of the info i got with it. May just pull it and trace the wires if I can. Going to Darlington next week and hope to have this and a few mor things nailed down. again thanks.

I would definitely remove the switch to see what wires are connected and the direction they are running.

Might be the water pump switch for the fresh tank. That's where ours was located in our popup... Took forever to figure out what it did since we most always were hooked up to city water and never towed with water in the tank due to weight considerations.
If you haven't already located that switch somewhere else in the popup, I'd bet that is what it is for.
Make sure you have charged batteries or are hooked up to power and then put some water in the tank and turn on the switch and see if you hear it running. (humming sound) and get water...

Does the switch, by chance, say winter/spring? If so, could you leave it on spring!

Come on we all know that every time it is switched the neighbor's popup is going up and down.

Mine is for the water pump. When you turn the switch on do you hear a little motor running?
