Switch Help

I have a 2018 Forest River Rainier travel trailer with two slide outs. In the center of the trailer is an island with the sink. Under the counter top there are two red transparent switches. Does anyone know what these might be?

they are transparent because they are lighted when on. One may be the water heater gas. On may be water heater 120 volts. They may both may be tank heaters if so equipped.

Thank you for the reply. The two lights aren’t the heater. It has a separate switch. I’ve attached photos of th two red switches and of the heater and pump switches.

I'm pretty sure those switches were not factory installed. High probability they may be tank heater switches but the only way to find out for sure would be to try to follow where the wiring goes and probably check under the coroplast liner under the camper to be 100% sure.

I have many aftermarket switches on my camper that aren't marked and several that would be very difficult to figure out.

Hope you figure it out.

Those look like the same tank heater switches for gray and black I have in my 2019 Vibe 272BHS
