I’m the second owner of a 2016 R-Pod 180, and this is my first season with it. There is an on/off switch on the side of the overhead cabinets next to the door and I cannot figure out what it does anywhere?! Can someone please let me know what this is for?…

Got a picture? There is a switch on the other side of our RP-179 for the porch light, but the layout is different and I would not want to speculate.

My guess would be the porch light.

Hard to say. It might not even be factory installed. Some people add switches. I've heard several say they add a switch to turn on the water heater on electric, instead of going outside to do it.

Is this it?



It's the outdoor porch light.

Yes, that's the one!  I figured it was an outdoor light, but it doesn't seem to turn anything on outside.. I'm not sure I even have a porch light??  Thanks for the reply!

It should be between the outside speakers.

You don't have this orange blob between your speakers?  That's the porch light (well, the outside light - not really close to the door Wink)

.

Do your inside lights work?  If so, then maybe the bulb is blown outside.

Yep! That turns on the yellow side light. Check the bulb to see that it is good.
