2003 Kountry Star Switch operation

As I am going through the new to me coach and working out the bugs, I can not find anything that explains what some the switches on the interior of the coach are supposed to actually do.

Many of the switches are labeled but some of the acronyms don't make sense to me or what I think they should do they don't.

For example there is a switch next to the passenger chair that is label interior, but doesn't seem to control anything on the interior of the coach. The other switch that says porch puts power to the light above the door location and that makes sense.

Is there a link or does someone have anything explaining the switch operation.

I am sure there are some burnt out bulbs but some of the bulbs I have already replaced I can not figure out how to turn them on, or possibly there are bad switches.

The " Interior " switch is an on/off for a couple of ceiling lights ( they have to be on at the fixture ) so you have access to interior lighting when on the stairs entering a dark RV.

That's what I thought, there is a light over the chair behind the passenger seat that only works from the switch at the fixture. The "interior" switch doesn't seem operate it, but probably should.

Its possible the switch is bad, one of the switches for the spot light over the table needs to be replaced as well. I will check that out tomorrow.

Thanks.

I just got a "new to me" 03 Kountry Star also. The switch for the light above the chair is on the wall immediately behind the chair in mine. I also have switches I don't understand.

I think I have most of them figured out now
Found the one for the security light on the passenger side above the sink on the bottom side of the cabinet. The drive side security light was up in the control center.
My light behind the passenger seat appears to only be on the switch at the light.
Some items only work when the coach is running, for example the overhead blowers which I assume are to defrost the window.

The , " reading Light " sometime referred to as a " map light " for the passenger may also be operated from the headlight switch , by turning the dash light adjustment all the way up .

The auxiliary overhead fans are to aid the dash defrost clear the top side of the windshield.
