The switches are Carling Technologies as are in most coaches. Below is a switch legend. You'll probably find what you're looking for. I have their full line catalogue and have ordered from them. Nice products and good to deal with.

I think yours is;
(2) interior dome light
(3) fog/driving light
(1) I can't make out in your pic.

Or a turbo, with exhaust valve, Exhaust brake ?
Glad that RVs of my vintage hadn't gone this route, having writing under the switch kind of eliminates the guess work.

#1 looks like exhaust brake (what other switched function deals with the turbo?), but it doesn't match the exhaust brake symbol shown in the pdf file.

Thank you all for the help; it is greatly appreciated!

It is a 1994 Gulfstream Scenic Cruiser, class A diesel pusher.

I am wondering if it could be a pacbreak; the switch has three positions. The dealer didnt know what it was and left us on our own to figure things out.

I looked in the catalog link posted; that was very useful. Thank you. However, I didnt see this particular switch symbol listed.

I also saw a remark about a violation and getting banned. Not sure if I did something wrong. If so, sorry about that. Please tell me what and I will try to correct the problem.

Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to iRV2! You have not violated any rules, so have no fear. Hope you are able to get your buttons figured out.

My guess on 1 is three speed blower. Turn the key switch to aux and try.

According to the generic Gulfstream Owners' Manual, #1 is "Defroster 2 Speed"

However, the other symbols don't appear to correspond exactly to yours as it may be either newer or older.

I've attached the page that will give you all the symbols to this post below.

If you need the entire manual, let me know and I'll email it to you.
