| 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. ------------- Alan 2022 R-Pod 196 "RaptoRPod" 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Three cats |

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. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

Is this it?  It's the outdoor porch light. ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

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! Noah

It should be between the outside speakers. ------------- Alan 2022 R-Pod 196 "RaptoRPod" 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4x4 Three cats |

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  ) .Do your inside lights work? If so, then maybe the bulb is blown outside. ------------- -- Jim Virginia City, Nevada 2016 R-pod 180 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X |

Yep! That turns on the yellow side light. Check the bulb to see that it is good. ------------- John '16 R-Pod 180 |
