Hi. '92 Breakway question - Don't know what an electrical switch located near the driver seat does. It's above the driver's left shoulder, near the ceiling, and faces downward. It has a duplex cover plate with a "typical house-type" switch on one side and a red light on the other side. The red light illuminates when the switch is flipped. Any thoughts as to what this switch does? Thanks all. | ||

On our Breakaway (1993) it turns on the receptacle (under the bed) that the block heater is plugged into. Bud 1993 Breakaway 36ft & 1977 20 ft Spartan: air ride and brakes & P32(?)

Great response from all - at least this "fair weather traveler" won't be subjected to another possible repair. Thanks all. | |||

Yep - and it can be left on overnight, which is advisable when it's really cold.
