My 1971 Tradewind 25 foot has the same light and it works with the switch almost behind the light.  The unit has a second "porch" light over the door.  The light discussed here is more like a "headlamp" on a car.  It lights up the entire area.  I would not want to be without it when camping in a really dark area.

Attached is a jpg of the porch light on our "new" 63 GT. It has CORONADO cast into the base.

My '69 Safari has an identical lamp to the front side of the entry door.  There's a switch on the interior wall, almost directly behind the lamp, that I assume controls power to the lamp.  I haven't had any luck in tracing the circuit to figure out why mine won't work.  The gasket behind the lens cover was badly deteriorated (same for the tail lights) that allowed gallons of water to flow inside the wall.  It's a feature I want in the circumstance of a dark park.
 
I'd be willing to bet 2 cents that your lamp is factory installed.
