Mysterous toggle under mattress hatch water pump way

My 2014 19 bought second hand has a fresh mystery. As I open the cabinet doors below mattress, to the drivers side is an obvious and workable toggle, with an electric wire. No idea at the moment where that wire goes. Is it possible its an interior water heater electric/propane switch?

Meant to add this photo

Attached is a photo of this long toggle. Seller is unable to recall. Tough area as I am a giant, to crawl around to see where this rabbit goes.

Those toggle switches were typically for tank heat pads that were put on fresh and gray water tanks if the option was chosen. Do you have the underside foam? Do you know if heat pads were on the original build sheet?

Yes he had some heat pads as an option and also yes foam all over under the rv. Is this toggle to activate the heat pads to the gray and black tanks? Pretty useless here and for my tropical travels.

That’s got to be it. A 19 does not have that switch otherwise and I have to assume you have no other known way to turn on your heat pads.
