Mystery Switch on my Salem Cruise Lite

We just got a 2018 Forest River Salem Cruise Lite. There is a white switch just inside the door down by the floor that is not labeled. When I flip it, nothing happens that I can hear. Any idea what this might be? My owners manual was no help.

Thanks!

Is it lights under the steps? I have seen that a few times.

It for the undercarriage lights. I run mine most of the time except when we go to sleep. They are blue so they are not as bright as the ones under the awning. Nice when we have to take the German shepherd out late. I don't feel like I'm disturbing out neighbors with light pollution.

Probably this^
I have a switch in the same spot and you can not see the lights unless it is dark out or you crawl under the trailer to look.

Thanks for the posts. I bet these do go the lights underneath but they are not coming on. The lights on our awning work great so I wonder if we have a loose connection somewhere.

My mystery switch by the door on my Sunseeker 2700ds was for my outside speakers.

I have this switch on the Wildwood 171rbxl.
They are for the blue under carriage lights.
When we did the PDI they worked. After the drive home, they did not.
The switch had power, but the connection from the lights that go into the corolast liner have a crimp connection to the wire that comes from the switch. You have to open up the corolast, recrimp the wires, and test the lights.
My crimp connections were not tight.
They make a gorilla duct tape that seals the liner pretty good.
