Dunno, what are they attached to? Maybe someone wired a switch in at some time to run the fan manually?

Where is the pump for the water?  Mine (1981 diesel) was an in-line pump on the floor under the sink.  I've had to replace it with another inline pump in the same place.  I think the two reds are the tap switch.
 
If someone has replaced the inline pump with a submercible they have probably cut out the original wiring and run positive from the leisure wiring to the pump and then used a switched earth via the tap.  A little bit simpler and more reliable than the original - which was fed from the control panel.
