New RV Question

Just bought a slightly used 2011Four Winds 28Z, and I have a question. The control panel has two switches labeled "Water Heater" . The left switch says LP-Gas On/Off, and the right switch says 110Volts On/Off.

Here is a photo of the control panel:



Normally, I would think each switch would control each function, however, confirming the part number on the water heater - it is gas only. The water heater is an Atwood G6A-8E, which according to the manual (original window sticker) the water heater is gas only.

Also, And I have not found a 120VAC breaker for the water heater.

There are several unused functions on the control panel, and those switch positions are filled with a blank rather than a switch. However, the 110VAC position does have a switch rather than a blank.

During walk through, the tech told me the water heater was a gas/electric model, but I have confirmed it is not.

I am scratching my head as to why there would be a 110V switch. I can't try it as everything is winterized, including the water tank, so I won't be able to flip any switches until next spring.

Any ideas from existing owners as to the switch function?
