Just under the bunk beds of my 19′ KZ (2010) there is a switch (looks like a light switch, but isnt) and I am not sure what it is for. I will probably call when I get a chance this week and ask someone, but before I do that I figured I would ask here.

Any ideas? Thanks!!!

I did check the manual and can't seem to find anything about it.

we have a different trailer however it looks like they more or less put the same stuff in all of them so i will go out on a limb and say its probably your water pump switch.  it will run long enough to pressurize the system tnen shut off till the pressure drops again.

ahhh yes, that makes sense! Thank you Ron!

Do you think when the camper is parked and not in use for several months I should just turn it to off, or just leave it on all the time?

Thanks!!!

i would only turn it on when you are using the water tank as your water source. (boon docking)

The one right next to the electrical power panel is for the water pump on the 19BH. Only turn it on when you need the water pressure when dry camping. Do not leave it on all the time as if a leak develops, the pump will pump the water out of the tank out the leak, leaving you waterless and with a mess (especially wet floor if fortunate, or an overfull holding tank or overflowing toilet and black tank in the middle of the night).
