Power button in Bedroom

[BenM]

Hey all,

I’ve recently purchased a 2018 Cougar half ton, bumper pull trailer. I noticed a white power button with a fault light next to it. It’s located inside the “night stand” over the head board. I cannot figure out what it operates. Any ideas? Model # 22RBIWE

Welcome to the forum. A model number would help you get a better answer. Cougar is a model line, line Cadillac, Buick , or Chevrolet. If you you go up to the top of the pager and open the "UserCP" and create a signature with the make, model, and year of your truck & trailer it will appear in all your posts.

Thank you, edited to reveal model number.

Can you post a picture? I've looked at pictures and videos of units for sale but don't see what you describe. Could that be an indicator light to let you know it's on vs a "fualt light"? Can you ask the PO what it's for? Maybe the PO added it?

Here is a picture

Does the unit have an inverter? I can't imagine what that's for. Hopefully someone with the same unit will chime in.

Maybe a close-up picture of the picture itself. No offense, but your picture leaves a lot to be desired. Too far away.

Looks like it says..power and fault with lights for each …could it be for a ems system ? But I think it may be an inverter …just guessing. Maybe the op can take a pic of battery and basement area

I've never seen a switch plate like that in any Keystone RV, so I'd guess that it's not OEM but is probably a "previous owner mod"...

I'd take a look for any USB ports or 12 volt power outlets around the bed. It may be the "power switch" for an "owner added phone charger/USB port"...

That will occur when the pilot light goes out on the furnace or the fridge. After the leak has been repaired like relighting the furnace or fridge. It can be reset by pushing in the button for 5-10 seconds. If it does not reset then disconnect your batteries for a minute or so.
I hope this helps you. I don’t have that model but I do own a 2020 keystone cougar 1/2 ton bumper pull.

Could it be a power switch for the TV antenna amplifier?

I think flybouy had it correct. I randomly saw this picture to day looking up remote controls for the inverter I will install later this year.


The number for this one is a Xantrex 808-9002 but looks very similar.

With a handle like yours I have no doubt what you were thinking.
