holiday rambler no 12v to fridge
My '04 Holiday Rambler Vacationer has no 12v power to the fridge. I have checked all of the known fuses and breakers but have not found a way to restore that source of 12v. Am I missing a way to do th...

I was just out with my MH. There are no fuse panels behind the LF tire as that is a slide. I looked at the panel under the hood but it is apparently just chassis circuits by the labels in it. I got into the 12v panel for the house circuits and pulled each and every fuse to check continuity. All passed but still no 12v coming through the wires so there has to be a breach somewhere that keeps the power off. I could not check for incoming power in the 12v panel due to no way to ground my volt meter. My Norcold fridge is midway on the passenger side and not in a slide. There are two 12v fuses marked for kitchen but one is shared with the furnace. The other only seems to control the numerous fluorescent fixtures. There doesn't seem to be any reasonable explanation as to why it suddenly became dead in about 5 minutes time unless there is a hidden fuse or burned wire where it gets power to start with. I can't find that since it must be hidden under the floor.
As for the AC voltage I had used an extension cord to test it while it was out installing the fans. Today I have full voltage there at the dual outlet, but the fridge won't turn on. I assume due to lack of 12v so I will continue to run it on the heater direct until I return on Aug. 11. It is 87* today, full sun no shade and freezer is 5.8*, fridge is 41.6.
