Cab Light Switch?

The RV dealer agreed to fix ALL lighting before I took possession.  I want to make sure all is fixed before I close tomorrow.  I was going through it today and I don't think the CAB switch was working (or at least I didn't see any lights come on).  Anyone know what lights this switch works?

Benjie, they turn on the lights inside the cabinets in the bed room.

Thanks! When I flipped that switch on and off, I was looking for some sort of light in the front to turn on since I interpreted that to mean the drivers seat area! LOL.

Benjie, the Cab switch is functional only when the far left switch that controls the drivers side under cabinet bedroom lights are on.  When that switch is on the lights in the cabinets on both sides of the bedroom are on.

We use the CAB lights as a nite light, when I get up in the middle  of the nite I flip that switch and with any of the cabinet doors slightly open there is enough light for me to not stumble over the dog as I get back in bed.  I know,  The floor lites will work for the same purpose.

And if you don't already know ,the switch over your head in the cabinet where the clock is that lites the lites under the side cabinets on each side of the bed are good FIRE Starters.  Put a pillow on the nite stand, turn on that halogen light and watch the smoke rise, scares hell out of the dogs.  :) :) :)

I thought you were talking about romantic fires until I read on. That smoke would scare the stuffings out of the dogs AND the people.

The clock is a pretty good night light after you've been in the dark for a while. After our last trip, which was only about 10 days, the bride found herself looking straight up from the bed to check the clock. OOPS! We are home. We look to the side for the clock in this room.

I have a projection clock at home with a remote temp sense sitting outside.  Love it!

Gary, it looks like your fancy newer Grand Villa has a different bedroom light setup than our older ones. We don't even have Halogen lights.

I'd say the fire-starter halogens should be the first replaced by LEDs (or just remove the bulbs).  I never use mine, there are more than enough other lights in the bedroom.
