What is red rocker switch?
Our '05 Pace Arrow is on a workhorse chassis. There is a driver side door. On the door panel, there are rocker switches for the door window, the electric shade, a 4-way electric switch for the two side view mirrors, and a 'mystery' red colored rocker switch. Rock it on, it lights up. But, what is it for? Feel like a dummy. I don't have any documentation with my rig (bought used) that I can refer to. Any ideas? 
Every day is an adventure!

It might be the mirror heater switch for cold weather.

I assume it's not an ejector seat? Or maybe it is and it's not functioning? Lol
Sorry I don't know. Just had to comment.

That's what it's for on mine even if I've never had to use it.

A lighted switch can be one of many
I had one that turned on my compartment lights (reminder to shut off lights). Actually on my Motor Yacht it was the engine room light.
I had one that turned on my invertor. (my current coach)
I had one that turned on hot water heater. (my older coach)

Does it look like the red rocker button below? Then it is the mirror heater as others have suggested.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.

That would be my guess as well.. I have a non-marked switch on my Intruder, (It is described in the owner's manual but not marked on the dash) and that is exactly what it does, Mirror heater.. Common on larger vehicles.

I think I'll go with the mirror heater suggestion, though my wife was hoping it was the ejector seat.  I'll follow up with Fleetwood and see what they say.
Meanwhile, thanks one and all. Shiny side up, rubber side down.

I would have guessed forward firing rocket launcher for clearing away a traffic jam, but that's just my crazy thinking.

Ya know, you would've thought they would've labelled them like they did on our Bounder.
