I only have guesses that are common reasons why. They could be dual purpose inside light switches. Which means they do that to control lights by wall switches and also at the light. My unit has several wired that way.
Other idea is they are outside lights. Those could be in a storage area or on the side or front. Even near a door or steps or near the roof.

Few (if any) 2007 trailers had awning lights. LED's were in their infancy then and far too expensive for a lower mid range RV. My guess would be the outside "scare light", the "dual switch activated" reading lights, or the bedroom speakers.

Are the switches OEM? or do they look 'slightly different' from the other 12 VDC switches in the trailer. If they're slightly different, who knows what the previous owner might have wanted to power? If they are the same type/style/color switch, then there are just so many things it could be, but a first guess, turn on the reading lights (if you have them) then try the switch. Next, turn on everything in the bedroom, bathroom and hallway and see what happens when you activate the switch.

Some others to consider: before awning Leds there were outside scare lights sometimes identified as "Security" and some outside lights above the entry step(s) which had two bulbs in the unit and thereby two control switches identified as "Porch" and "Patio", The bulbs were one Amber and one White. May be a docking light. As far as internal lights with actual on/off switches on the individual lights, you will have to play around with these, ie turn the local switch on and off as well as toggle the wall switch on/off. Some time getting an adult drink before helps
