What does this do??
In the back bay on the driver side of my 1999 Newmar Mountain Aire, where my shore power connection is located, there is a pull handle on the back wall. I would love to pull on it but am reluctant since I do not know what will happen. (Maybe the wheels will fall off). Does anyone have an idea what this is for?

That is the manual operation handle for the drivers ejection seat. If I were you I wouldn't tell my wife where it's at

Manual pull handle in back bay for driver ejection seat, I don't think so, too far away.
More likely the pull starter for the diesel.

Not sure about the Newmar, but is the chassis battery tray in that compartment or next to it? Sounds like a release for a roll out tray much like the one I have in the front left compartment for the generator to roll out for service.

I once owned a 98' Kountry Star with that same handle. It released the rear bumper which pulled out to expose a spare tire and tool tray. My coach was on a FRED chassis .

No wonder I have such a hard time starting my 300 Hp diesel. I'll start yanking.
