Still would like to find the headlight relay for future reference.

But my high beams work, so I’m happy!

Looked for a fuse, but could not find one. There maybe a relay on the back of the breaker panel?

Bad Bright/Dim switch? Bad relay (if there is one)?

Many thanks!!!

If your bright dim dash switch operates like mine on my Essex that dash switch is for your gauge lighting. Rock it and hold it should brighten or dim your gauge lighting. Your headlight dimmer switch should be on your turn signal switch. Just pull it toward your steering wheel and it should click as it cycles. This is how mine works.

One other thing just thought of, most Motorhomes have lousy headlights. I know the three I have had did. None were Tiffen coaches but this a common issue with most except for the more modern coaches with LED headlights. Mine seem to work better on dim than with the brights on.

Don't hold me to this but I doubt you will find a headlamp relay. Most automotive headlamps have a circuit breaker built into the headlamp switch which will open and close if there is a short in the system so the headlamps will go out momentarily and come back on.
Perhaps a call to Tiffin would be in order to satisfy your curiosity.
