What is this switch for?

This is in the entry way of my 1989 Superchief. There are 5 switches. 4 are labeled (ceiling, porch, floor, step) and one by itself that is not labeled. Does anyone know what it is for?

switch

This is just a guess from a newbie of three years, could it be a battery disconnect switch?

It doesn't seem to do anything and I cannot hear any click or anything when I turn it on or off.

I too am guessing a battery cut off switch or "Salesman" switch, that's where Damon put mine. Though mine is different. Someone may have disabled it.

Could be master switch for basement storage lights. ...or master switch for power awning if there is (or was once) one. Doesn't look like battery disconnect switch to me (would be MOM rocker if it were?) but could be.

Have no idea wat it may control but the above suggestions have merit.

Suggest you leave it in the "off" position until you find something that doesn't work then try the switch again. As mentioned above, it could have controlled a circuit or feature that is no longer in the rig. good luck!!!

Thinking basement storage lights, or wet bay light.

Finally figured it out! A couple of you had it right. It is the main cutoff switch for lights in the storage bays. Thanks for your help!
