I really appreciate all the feedback. Fridge sits in a 42 foot Foretravel MH it is a standard house fridge - no gas - called poison control they responded - smelled the same as I - so at least I know I am not loopy (smiling)!
Coach batteries are easy to reach - House batteries are dead center under the coach. Only way to them is to crawl under. Good engineering huh!!!!!
suggested I get a hotel for the next couple of nights and then call the plant on Monday and see exactly what they did and the connection to any smell. Sounds like the best idea yet. Thanks for the responses
If it is a residential fridge, it has some type of freon in it, just like the air conditioning does.
If the house batteries are in the center of the coach, they should be on a slide-out tray so they can be serviced, as in water check and refill, and terminal cleaning.
If glues were used in the repair work, the odor should be acetone or methyl ethyl ketone or some other solvent, probably not ether. Of course, I have no way of knowing, but I suspect that solvent is what you are smelling.
As mentioned, starting fluid is ether. If you have ever used that, you know what ether smells like.
