Welcome aboard! That's an interesting switch but it's not original equipment. It was added by the previous owner. So it's hard to tell what it's for. In our rig there is a switch in that location...

I have a Demco Recon. There are likely other hitches that operate similarly but I'm really enjoying this hitch. It's quiet, secure, and comes apart in 3 pieces so easier to remove and install.

Agree...it's to allow for a LITTLE flex without damaging the sidewall. However, that looks like more than a little flex. Something had to move a lot to do that. I think I'd get that checked out

On your thermostat check your Fan settings. There is High, Low, and Auto. If the Fan is on High or Low it will run with the furnace. Set it to Auto and that should resolve that issue.
