What is this used for “Docking LTS” switch

https://www.keystoneforums.com/forum...pictureid=7084

This is on my leveling box on the upper left hand side. Don’t know what it’s used for. Can anyone help?

Your docking lights. It should turn on some lights on and/or under the nose of your 5W so you can see the pinbox at night.

This is interesting. I turned this switch on and nothing lights up. Most likely because I don’t have a 5th wheel??? Keystone at it again putting in whatever they have in stock at the time.......

Travel trailers can be equipped with auto leveling. Not to be confused with stabilizer jacks but I'd check for sure.

It would be easier to answer your questions if you put your camper year, make and model as well as the same info for your tow vehicle in a signature. Go to the UserCP at the top left of each page in the black bar and click on it and create a signature. Then there will be context for people to intelligently answer the questions you pose.

Docking LTS.....if only

Try turning the switch on in the evening when it’s fairly dark out. Then you can see if any external lights come on. I think it’s a little strange to put the switch there though.

I have “docking” lights on my Fuzion toy hauler that look really neat a night but a pretty useless. They are way up on the cap of the trailer and a blue LED lights. Not much help when needing lights for hooking/unhooking. I’m thinking about installing some lights on the underside of the trailer around the hitch that would truly be docking lights.
