    Blue LED lights under curbside LR slideout on 2020 Solitude 380FL

    The lights always on and are about 24” apart. They are underneath the Schwintech slideout and serve no apparent purpose. I cannot find a switch for them anywhere. They are only on the curbside and not on the door side. Any tips about why they are there or how I can turn them off will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about your unit, but on the 310GK the switch is in the wet bay.

    ** I should have noted that I turn them on when I have to work on that side in the dark. It is a reminder that the Slide out is "out" and I need to watch my head. It has been partially successful.

    I agree with @Rob+Kath

    We a have Reflection 303RLS (5th Wheel). My switch is in the wet bay as well.
    Our 5th wheel has a slide on the front driver side and I want to believe that
    the lights are there so that no one cracks their head on the slide. I don't
    believe it is for any other purpose than that.

    Rob, Kath and RoJoSo. Thanks for the replies. I’m sure you are right. I looked for that pesky switch everywhere except in the wet bay. All the best,

    I was told that by the dealer when we bought ours. Guess what? They don't work as intended all the time. LOL

    Apparently that switch on the Nautilus system is not marked on any of the models. Everyone has the same question. On mine I didn't know there was a light by the dump valves but could not figure out what the switch on the panel was until I asked. Seems to me GD should just label the dang switch.

    There is a lot of people that dont know about the light at the valves. I love this light when dumping
    at night. We just used it again when pulling into Cabelas for the evening.

    @4x4dually Cant say I have done it, now that I said it, I likely will
    cracked my head. All though I have hit my head on the 5th wheel. That hurts. Speaking of
    that....We also have a light on the fifth wheel as well. (I should of used the damn light) LOL

    On my 380FL, the LED lights underneath work by a switch on the front of the RV just above the battery vent. The switch is covered with clear vinyl to waterproof it, so isn't very obvious.

    The switch is probably in the wet bay by the pump switch

    2021 375RES-R here. The blue lights you're referring to, as others have said, are controlled by an unmarked switch in the Nautilus bay. On ours, it's adjacent to the Water Pump switch.
