I own a 2003 28E33SB Titanium. It is new to me so I am becoming familiar with it. As you step into the RV there is a bank of three switches. One operates outside door light, the next operates the ceiling lights and the other I have no idea. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what this might be for.
Thx

Step switch or battery (salesmans) battery cut off switch?

I'll take a guess that it could be one of two things on your fiver , because you don't have power steps .
1. Scare ( security ) light on opposite side, of RV, to the door.
2. Propane bottle compartment light , to switch tanks in the dark . This is common on TTrailers not so much on 5ers.

I have a switch that controls an exterior outlet. I plug my rope lights into it and can turn them off at quiet time without unplugging them.

Do you have a step light going up to the bedroom? If so, may be burned out.

We have that same 3 switches, and one controls the burnt out light on the "Driver" side.

Might have some luck with this. Saw the exact 5th wheel at a nearby RV dealer. Thanks all for your suggestions. As always this is such a great site.

Scare lights?

wa8yxm · 05-14-2018, 07:48 AM

I have 4 (Well 5) switches but
Porch/work light (3 position center off DOWN is both UP is porch, grab handle (lighted) operates with porch)
Compartment (Basement)
Ceiling (three of the lights two that are covered by the slide when it is in and the one over the entery steps are controlled by this switch and it's companion down the hall)
Step Override. this locks the steps in the OUT position if the ignition is off. No effect if ignition is on.

The 5th switch is on a seperate panel.. Battery control. Also a center off (Operates a remote solenoid) but spring return to off.

That's the standard suspect list. So now you know what to check.

Brother (p-Touch) always by you side
Use it to label the switches.

Saw the exact same Titanium as mine. Asked dealer what the three switches were for. Turns out he didn't have a clue either. Thought it was for sewer but it wasn't. Still no further ahead.

First question to ask an RV salesperson or dealer .

" What kind of RV do you own ? " If they answer " I don't have one . " RUN away !

I don't believe that General Coach , the manufacturer ( ? ) survived the 08 crunch in the industry , so there will be little if any info on the net for your question . Only answer may be to pull the switch and see if it's wired and check power in and out , then leave the switch off , till you find something that doesn't work.

On mine I have a switch that turns on the LED for the steps for night entry. I have 2 awnings and both of them have strip LED lights and boy does it light up the night. If I turn on my porch it is like daytime out so I wouldn't to leave them one if we left for the evening.
