I also have never heard of such a remote and would suggest that you contact directly the manufacturers Swift, BUT from my understanding 2053 vehicles were registered between September 2003 and February 2004 so they may well be unable to answer. Our vehicle is 2003, also made by Swift and has no mention of such a thing.

I hate it when they come back from the future and we have to figure it all out.
I have attached images showing the remote device in the circuit diagram. Just need to find where it is fitted on the vehicle so I can disconnect for testing.

Saw this on the web
"Some models are equipped with a remote control unit which allows the user to isolate the caravan outputs from the battery, using button II, whilst still maintaining the charging of the battery (when connected to a mains supply). It can also switch on the entry light inside the caravan, using button I.
1. Button I controls the first light inside the caravan.
2. Button II controls the isolation of the 12V systems.

I don't think there is a remote as such I think it might be the remote operation of the step out Laika had a button on the dash, but most come up via a switch near the hab door and when the ign is turned on.

I think the Remote panel replicates the switches on the RH panel above the door. the RH panel above the door overides the remote settings [I think]. Handbook reference below:
"The remote control unit allows you to isolate the caravan outputs from the battery-using button II, whilst still maintaining the charging of the battery (when connected to a mains supply). It will also switch on the AWNING LIGHT using button I. 1. Button I controls the AWNING LIGHT 2. Button 2 controls the isolation of the 12 volt systems. Over-riding the remote control is possible by using the two switches located on the control panel above the door, these switches should be left in the OFF position when using the remote control during normal operation. The coding for the unit is recorded on the back of the remote unit and also on the control unit, a note of this should be recorded in a safe place. If additional remote units are required these can be ordered using the code."

Thanks to Rayc and Gellyneck, I was clearly wrong, I have never heard or read about such a thing before. I can see how that could be useful if you were approaching the MH in the dark and wanted the awning light on.
Never too old to learn, I was clearly not familiar that such a thing even existed.
