Missing Switch for 2020 Navion Tank Heaters

I have a 2020 Navion with what appears to be factory installed tank heaters but I have been unable to find a switch to turn them on.

The Navion manual says "The holding tank heater power switch is located near the monitor panel. The illuminated switch will glow when the power is on".

However, the switch is not in that location.

I traced the factory wiring to where it enters the left rear compartment behind the panel for the water and tank dump controls.

Does anyone have any ideas why I can't find a switch? Did the factory forget to install one?

Does the owner's manual say "if applicable" or "if installed" in the section describing the tank heaters? You may be seeing something that was "roughed in" but not fully installed.

Yes, it does and that's the question. Why would the tank heaters be installed by the factory and wired without adding the switch?

Did you order/build the Navion, or buy it off the lot, or used? It may be because tank heaters weren't on the original build order. I ordered my 2018 Navion with tank heaters, but Winnebago was prohibited from installing the wiring, because the unit was for delivery to Canada. My Canadian dealer had to complete the install at the dealership. So, Winnebago "roughed in" the tank heaters, but the dealer had to finish the job.
I see you're in Florida, so that may not apply, but then again, it might.
That's the answer.

On. My 2020 24D the switch is located above the inverter panel in the kitchen cabinet above the induction cook top. I'm not sure what floorplan you have.

OK, mystery solved. The switch was above the inverter panel as you indicated. Thanks for your response.
