autotrail Apache 632 led lighting

[Dalesman]

Hi
We have just purchased an Autotrail Apache 632. The lighting sequences seems confusing to me, you switch them on and immediately the lights above the cab come on and don't switch off unless you go in the locker and switch off the light switch on the control panel which in turn turns them all off?
Next the night light below the washroom door is on permanent it can't be switched off,surely this will drain the battery over time wild camping. Any advice please.

Well firstly it helps to have a degree in electrical engineering ( although whoever designed them clearly didn't) , we bought the 700 version with a rear lounge and two months on they still baffle me. As you walk in the door there is a light switch on the right, this operates the light above the mirror and door entrance, as you look at the sink there is a switch next to the socket ,that operates the light over the cooker,under the control panel behind the drivers seat there are two switches one operates the over cab bed light the other operates the light below the toilet door.At the back above the side board two switches and a press button switch one operates the toilet night light under the door the other operates the rear lounge mood lights and the third operates rear lounge strip lights and the above toilet door light .There are two further switches on the control panel above the habitation door, they control the mood light above the dinette and the main lighting above the dinette. I still cant just get in it and switch the correct light on. Hope this helps. Tony
