mystery switch whitehawk 28 dsbh

In the control panel there is two switches on the bottom right main lights and led outside strip light and there is a single switch next to that that I can't figure out what it does. Please help I called the dealer I bought it from and he didn't have a clue.

There is a orange outside light on the slide side of the trailer just above where the outside shower is, it turns that on.

Did your dealer know how to access the valves for the hot water tank? Mine didn't or at least the guy who did the walk through didn't. He told me I had to access it through the rear storage compartment and remove a barrier to get to it. So what did I do...I listened to him when I de-winterized the trailer and complained at the Jayco designers the whole time until I noticed a little hatch cut in the support for the lower bunk. My complaining then shifted to the dealer.

Had the same question about the switch on our 2014 WhiteHawk 30DSQB....I'm sure it was covered by the guy who did the walkthrough with us because he did a great job.....it was winter and a while before we got to go over everything on our on....this old brain couldn't remember.....called salesman and emailed Jayco...2 answers.....neither correct....eventually called Jayco...got a different answer than the other 2 but it was the correct answer finally......probably had neighbors wondering why that light on the backside of the trailer kept going on and off all the time.....well, that was me flipping the stupid switch and having no clue what it was doing.

How long did it take you to find the tstat / on-off switch for the outside mini fridge? Looked everywhere and finally found it on the top of the outside frame all the way to the back. Jayco cut a little square access opening where you can reach in and work in the blind to turn it on/off or adjust the temp.

It took a while but saw a post on here before it really became necessary to make adjustment ......had seen the hole in storage area in the back bunk house under bottom bunk.....just thought they added the hole for more ventilation for the fridge....actually have now added a vent cover over the hole to keep any outside critters from entering from that area that might get in while the outside kitchen door is up.

So they are adjustable? Mine freezes the beverages after 2 days. I have no access on my 33BHBS. I might have to unscrew the thing to see the back. I just switched the breaker to turn off the fridge, but both inside and outside fridges are on the same circuit.

If I contort myself I can get in far enough to adjust the fridge. It's been turned off since the last voyage of the fall. Will turn it back on for Memorial Day.

It took me about 2 hours after pulling it all apart to clean the soda cans that blew up in it and the surrounding areas

I'm glad you asked this. I just bought a 23 MBH and was wondering the same thing.

It's just amazing how many dealers know enough to ask for the check but not where thermostats, bypass, light switches.... are. Sorry, short rant.

We had a mystery switch as well in our 5th wheel trailer back near the rear large window. I flipped it on and off a few times and never saw anything happen.

I did this one evening and the wife was outside sitting in the patio area. She came after i had flipped it on and off a couple of times and asked what was the large light light coming on and off a couple of time.

Sure enough that was what the switch was for to turn on the large scare lights on both side of the rear of the 5th wheel trailer.

Never dreamed it being for those lights as you would expect the switch would be near an entrance door...

Two of those large 8-inch scare lights really put out some light haha... Scared the wife at any rate...

My thought is it's back there so if you need to dink around with your connections at night, you have a shred of light, although that may be a stretch. Thanks for the fridge note...I had no idea.
