Perncitro Neil's question, do you now have 12V at the back of fridge connections shown earlier?

There is a 15amp fuse in the circuit breaker box for the heater and fridge. I replaced that and now the heater works and I am getting 12.7 volts at the strip but still no lights or power to the fridge. I checked the 3 and 5 amp fuses again and they are fine but there is no voltage going across the 5 amp fuse.

Replaced all the fuses just to be safe, no luck. I traced as many connections as I could and they all had power. Finally gave up and called GD. They said that they would pay for everything but the mobile service fee. Have a tech coming out tomorrow. Thanks for all the help everyone 👍

The tech said that the switch in the eyebrow had failed. No easy fix. Dometic told him that I had to take it to a qualified service center in order not to void my warranty. I know that Grand Design is not at fault but it is somewhat frustrating considering the trailer is only six months old.

I assume eyebrow there is a typo, but regardless I’m surprised a Grand Design would send a mobile tech that isn’t authorized. I’ve never heard of any parts in the fridge that we’re not field serviceable.
The eyebrow is the set of switches (on, off ) inside the freezer compartment. Because we are camping out in the middle of nowhere GD didn’t have a local tech so they told to get whoever I could find and they would reimburse me. The guy I found was knowledgeable but was not on Dometics list of authorized service personnel so they would not send him the part. They told me to take it to an authorized service center to avoid losing my warranty. The frustrating thing is that it is a simple snap out snap in part but every service center I called had at least a two week wait before they could even look at it.
