Mystery Switch Big Country 3250TS

[Donszarko]

To the left of the KIB monitor panel are two switches. One is the triple slide switch. The other is a larger red rocker switch that seems to stay illuminated when turned on. This is a new 2013 5th wheel model. The hot water tank switches are on the main panel.
This mystery switch is separate from the KIB monitor panel so user guides for KIB don't show it. Dealership has no idea other than it is a petition switch to turn on heat pads for heated tanks?
Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hello Donszarko and welcome to this great forum. Lots of info to be had here.
I can't help you with what that switch controls, but I can say that if it is for the electric heating element in the water heater and you leave it on for a while you will probably burn out the element and if it controls the holding tank heaters you must have some water in them or you risk burning a hole in the bottom.
Did you order heated tanks?

Peace
Dave

Sounds like a switch to activate the Yeti systems. Don't leave it on. It's meant to heat the holding tanks in freezing weather.

Yes is is the Electric Water Heater. Keep off until you have water in the tanks.
