Red Switch in Storage Door

[michaelkingartwork]

I'm a Newbie and I just purchased a used 2011 Heartland rpg 185. I didn't get any books on it and I'm having to guess at a lot of stuff.
Will someone tell me what this small red switch is that is inside one of the outside compartments? It's located near the bathroom I believe.

Thanks!

In all other Heartland RV's, a RED 110 volt (lighting type) wall switch indicates that it is the switch for the water heater 110 volt heating element. The water heater has its own thermostat(s) to regulate the heated water temperature once a heating source is turned ON.

I know where that one is on the inside. This is not the light switch type and it is in one of the outside storage bins. It is also just a flip lever, not a light switch type. See the photo I posted.

It looks like you are too new on the forum to post pictures.

Any chance this has large wires coming to it, and is the battery disconnect?

No. I'm fairly sure it's not electrical, but perhaps some sort of cut off toggle. My image is on Flickr at: https://flic.kr/p/25sa5xS (hope it's ok to do this)

It does not look like the wooden structure that the switch is on is a factory placement. Someone else added that.
You should try to contact the previous owner and ask what was added.
Or take it apart and look on the other side.

Notice the screws holding the switch are not the same as the square bit #2 screw heads elsewhere in the picture. This looks like something added by the previous owner. You may have to experiment or take things apart to figure it out.

It’s s battery cutoff switch. What it might be used for is anyone’s guess.

Dito, looks to be a battery cut-off switch. Usually you can remove that red handle, like a key.

Finally got in touch with the previous owner. It is a battery cut off switch he put in it himself. Thanks for the help!
