How do I switch off dining area strip light? (2 Viewers)

[BarneyRubble]

Sorry for daft question but I can’t find the switch anywhere to turn this light off. Any ideas please 2012 Autotrail Arapaho

Does it have a little switch on the fitting maybe?

A quick google also suggests checking for switches on or near the extractor fan if it has one.

Any switches by the habitation door you might not have noticed?

 

[scotzsue]

Can't help, but have never seen so many lights as in our van, keep finding new ones, but yet to find one in the garage. theswitch for ours like, yours on the CI was by the door, the light we thought was for a door step light in the laika is for one of the many overhead ones.

Look on the control panel over the door, mine has a dimmer on there for those lights.

There's a button on top of the torch for one source of light .......................

In my Hymer, the dining area is next to the bed, and the bed area has 2 switches high up: one for the bed light and one for the dining area light.

Assuming you have an EC480 panel (probably above your hab door) it's this one. Pressing cycles through bright \ dim \ off.
Well it does on our 2013 Savannah.

Switch by control panel does the top ones and a remote for the lower ones or as stated the button on panel

 

[Oldbob]

Use the dimmer switch button on the control panel, it works like that on mine. Think it just depends on which day they were wired up !

 

[tonka]

On my Apache 700 there were seperate switches to the side of the main control panel above the door.

On the Dakota I have a separate hand held to control those lights, dimmer switch and on/off for all the lights throughout the van. Came supplied.

You can download a handbook for your Arapaho here.

We used to own an 2008 Arapaho and from memory we think the lights switch is either on the kitchen wall or over the Habitation door.

Have you found the 240v outlet socket behind the passenger seat? we had one in the Arapaho and there is also one in our Apache, god knows why as you struggle to get to them.
A genuine design blunder.

one switch is over the door, the other is under the power socket by the tap

and before you start to panic, theres a little rocker switch under the valance behind the driver, which turns off/on the leds under the bath room door for night time visits to the loo

theres a off/on rocker in the power cuboard bottom right, which is the kill switch for the media centre

Well ??? Have you switched it off, or do you need more pointers?

Probably has but is now fumbling around in the dark trying to find the switch again to turn them back on so he can see what he's doing!

Just re- read the original post. We have the same van
The switch is above the hab. door, between the heater control and water heater control.
Simples.

My 2013 Mohawk has a remote for those lights.

We had a Scout for 5 years and to be honest I never worked out what switch worked what lights.

AT go a bit OTT on lighting.

Many thanks, I'll have a look at that tonight then!

Might be a daft question - but how did you turn it on in the first place?

The dining area strip stays on even when on dimmed setting but I think now sorted, accordng to another member it's one of the switches on the heater control unit. Can't believe I hadn't noticed those, durrhhh!
