Rear Storage Rocker Switch

Hello all. Not sure if this is the right forum to post this question but here goes.
2004 Winnie Chalet 24'.
I have a switch in the external rear storage compartment on the passenger side. It's the storage compartment with the outside shower nozzle.
There's no mention of it in the Ford manual and none in the Winnebago manual.
It's a rocker switch that looks like the emergency fuel shut off switch that was in the trunk of my son's '91 Mustang.
My fuel shutoff is behind the passenger side kick panel.
Does anyone have an idea of what it might be for? I haven't switched it for fear of disconnecting power to something an not knowing what it is.

I've attached a picture of it.

Thanks for the help.
Steve

Water pump? They put them all over the place on some units. I have one out there, one on the monitor panel, and one in the lav, in my Navion.
Or, if equipped, maybe a macerator pomp.

Hmm, the outside shower seems to work fine when the Water Pump switch on the monitor panel is on but maybe there is a extra pump there. I'll head over to the RV tomorrow and give it a try and report back.
Thanks.

I believe they are wired so that any one switch can turn the pump on/off. Unlike my propane tank main valve switches. All must be "on" for the propane to flow. Either switch can disable the flow by itself.

My 2016 Minnie Winnie 27Q has such a switch in a back storage compartment but on the driver's side. Mine activates a macerator pump that empties the grey water tank.

Ok, thank you for the replies.
Winterbagoal, it is another waterpump switch. I guess that makes sense. If you leave the waterpump switch off before leaving the RV and then return from the beach or a hike, you don't need worry about tracking dirt into the RV to turn on the waterpump before washing off with the outside shower.
