Ignorant question

We have a 30HDS Hyper Lite. In the kitchen area, wall separating the kitchen to bath, and below the stereo, there is a switch. Please know, and tell us what it does!
Thanks, feeling dumb.

Don't feel dumb! Take a picture and post it - folks will help you figure it out.

Just curious - what happens if you flip the switch?

It's not the water pump, and nothing happens when its "switched". I feel like we were told in the walkthrough, but alas....
It's a puzzler, but we'll all figure it out. I'll try a pic.

Could it be for the roof fan in the kitchen above the fridge?

I agree. Watching a walk through video on YouTube this would be my guess. That or the above cabinet blue mood lighting.

@4:06 is the fan and shortly after he shows the switch but doesn't actually say anything about it. https://youtu.be/wK3U3Ggp-XQ

I had 2 switches like that but when I turned them on a night and went outside and walked around I found one was for the lights under the front steps and the other was lights above my rear ramp door.

Thanks for all the thought and ideas, but still not correct. I'll try to post a pic and maybe that will help. Strange!

Is there a small led light along a walk space that the switch turns on? I have a switch near my inside steps to a LED night light. You may need to wait till night to see it lite.

This reminds me of that episode of Married With Children when Al has no idea where a light switch on the wall goes to and we find out at the end that it is a light in the doghouse where Buck said his musings about it going on and off all the time for years.

I had a switch in our previous camper that for the longest never knew what it controlled....constantly was flipping it on and off.....finally asked a tech at the dealer and found out it controlled a light on the backside of the camper over all the utility hookups for night arrivals and hookups in campgrounds....funny part of this was one day my neighbor's response....she told me she could be sitting out on her deck and all of a sudden this light on the back of my camper would go on, off, on, off, on, off.....certainly had her confused.

there's a factory guy in Elkhart laughing his butt off right now. He installs switches just for giggles.
