Exclamation Desperately Need Help Identifying Switches

I have 2 switches in my 2004 Tourmaster Quatro that I am not sure what their use is. These switches are normal household switches with a red indicator to indicate they are turned on. One is on the drivers side wall in the area between the dining/living area and the bathroom. I believe this one (in combination with a switch on the water heater) is to turn on and off an electric heating unit in the water heater, but I'm not sure. The other is on the base of the side of the bed facing the front of the motorhome, and I have no idea what it may be. Can anyone tell me what these two switches are/control. Thanks!

I know you can guess by yourself but, I just can't help guessing that the one by the bed is an engine block heater.

You are correct that the kitchen switch is the electric element in water heater and the one under the bed IS the engine block heater receptacle. in the rear or in a compartment will be a power cord that plugs into this switched receptacle during the winter for the engine block heater.
