If you have a slide out it may be a lock bar to keep the slide top from tilting when going around corners.
If you use it......put a sticky reminder on the panel so you do not attempt to deploy slide with it in place.

Mystery Rod in HW296

Someone else wondered the same thing.

it is the hanger rod and it goes into the hanging wardrobe - . We never used it as we used all the shelves and had no need to hang anything.

It's a stripper pole for leprechauns!! Can't you see those wee leprechauns in their little g-strings....I better stop while I'm ahead.

Yes, that was where the hanging wardrobe went in our hw277. We also hung a second wardrobe in the bathroom as we used the bathroom as a closet. With four gals, we needed the closet space and did not wish to deal with the black tank. We liked our popup while we had it, but have moved on to a hybrid now.

Just curious but not planning on using the rod, but where does it goe in inside i see no place to attach it?

There should be two loops up at the top. They are in the top side seams.

Here is where I moved it to because my Wife and I use the the front bed end the back we put our suitcases.

That is the rod to hold a bench lid open while you get something out or put something in.
