What is this light for ?

[FirsTimeNewbieCoach]

This light is on driver side behind rear axle- of Coach. To my knowledge it’s not working but I’m not sure when it is supposed to work

thanks !

That's such a closeup picture that it's hard to be sure, but it could be a clearance light that comes on with the headlights (could be an amber bulb under the lens), or it could be a utility light intended to light things up at night near the water bay, power plug in or other things needed at night.

Perhaps a clue to what coach you have might help someone identify it, too, perhaps putting information into your signature as many of us have done.

MIne just like that is controled by a switch on the dash board. It is a white light used for seeing when you are walking on the drivers side of the coach. BTW mine works but the light it gives off is not worth anything

My Winnebago has something similar. They call it a docking light. I don't drive at night so I've never used it.

Those all sound reasonable - it is near the power is connected and the water and sewer connection. Not sure where there is a switch to turn it on if I wanted to - thanks everyone !

With that wider picture, it does appear to be a docking light.

Again if it is like my southwind there is a switch on the dash

If it was a docking light I would assume there would also be one on the other side yet the op doesn’t mention anything about another light. Maybe they could tell us.

I only have one on the drivers side on my southwind and that is what OP has as well although different year

I wonder how it is turned on ? I’ve not found a switch

Don't you have a switch on the dash? MAy turn on under hood light as well. Is the bulb good?
