    It controls the water pump also, and works like a house three-way light switch, allowing you to turn on the pump from the Nautilus control panel, or inside the camper.  The outside Nautilus switch is for when you want to use the outside shower, or syphon (actually pumps it) water into the water tank.

    @NovaTab - I asked nuCamp Tech about this last November.  Creed replied that the black rocker switch is disabled.  NuCamp elected not to use it.  The other switch is a 3 way for the water pump.

    As with any two/three way switch the pump action can get out of sync from the inside panel light (light ON - pump OFF) when you use this.... :)

    Yes, good point Mark, I would turn it on and off from the same switch.  When I said it was wired like a three way, I was not advocating turning it on on Nautilus panel switch and off in the Cabin switch.  Just you can turn it on /off from either location.  We keep our pump off, unless we are actually using it.  A habit from my big boat sailing days.
