Mystery Switch?
Anyone have any clues as to what this switch switches? I've circled it in the attached photo. I know its not the water pump, and there's no lights on the outside of my trailer on that side. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The antenna booster would be my guess.

It's the ejection switch. In case of emergency, press it and you will be ejected safely out of the trailer and parachute to the other end of the campground…

Or, it may be be the battery disconnect switch. It looks like it has a light at the top and bottom which may be one too many.

I wish it was the battery disconnect switch. I just spent saturday installing a new inteli-power 9200, fuse panel, and a new battery. exiting the trailer to connect the battery every time i needed to test something got old real quick.

Off topic for your post but did you paint the work top and stove white? If you did, is it POR15 Whitecote?
Cheers
