We are new at RVing and just purchased a 2015 Fleetwood Southwind. We are on our first trip and the main lights in the coach stay on we have looked in the manual and everywhere in the RV and can’t find a switch. Can anyone help??

Try the light switch. Sorry I couldn't resist but if this is in fact a legitimate post, the lights work just like the lights in your house. You hit a switch. What's odd about your post is that you must have figured out a way to turn them on, unless you bought it with all the lights on and have remained that way since. Again, if this post is legit, good luck. There's lots more complicated in RV's than turning the lights off.

Haha. Did that and if you turn the main switch off it turns off the fridge too. Need the fridge to run.

No. I thought it was supposed to run on the voltage from the engine but it says no AC so it’s running on LP. I can turn the main light switch off but as I said it turns the fridge off too.

Your fridge still requires some current to light the LP and no, it doesn't run off the engine. Your Fridge in electric mode runs off the generator if not plugged in to shore power. In the absence of that power it will run in LP mode. Have you tried leaving whatever switch you are hitting in the on position and trying other switches for the lights to turn them off?Who did you buy this RV from? If this is a serious post - and I certainly have my doubts, you need to do some real homework on how RV's work. Did you know anything when you bought it? Did you ask any questions from the seller? have you contacted them to ask these questions?
