blue led's under steps

Any idea when these come on. Maybe with a certain switch. I would think they would come on with the led strip under awning. I noticed them for first time last weekend. didnt even know they where there. Been flipping switches but cant seem to get them to come back on.

Mine is just a switch that is unlabeled. Finally figured it out on my last day of camping on our first trip out.

Keep in mind that these RVs are designed and built by people who a) never camp in them, and b) never live in one. That's why the interiors look like they are 20 years old when they come off the line; it's why designs are oriented towards production speed and not convenient usage. It took us forever to discover the switch to our ceiling fan is in the ceiling next to our exhaust fan for the stove. Amazing. And I had to go online to get help finding out where the water filter is. Have no idea what makes RV manufacturers tick, but it sure ain't any concerns for the end user.

Our switch is on the main panel next to the awning switch.

Yeah, I just figured out about 20 min ago how to drain my FW tank. Why don't they put a valve on it? Just a plug!

If that's a cap, don't lose the washer inside...

How else would we be able to make all those mods to out RVs? It's things like a bad water filter design, no screens over vents, no wiring schematics, and so-on, that keep you busy and outta trouble.

None of my switches turn them on. Just used it racing all weekend so had some time to mess with it. I would think they would come on with the led strip under awning. Guess I'll ask the dealer. Plus I'm getting a crack which looks like a seam on my ramp right down the middle. Guess that's another thread. Getting my warranty list made

You are correct. Not sure why that was so hard for me to find but there it is. But like you said, not too bright.
