my first motorhome and it's all so confusing. The fridge worked fine at home but when I got to the campground it got cold but then shut off. Now it won't start again. Was told it was probably the heat...
Are you using full hookups or a generator? If not, how big is your battery bank?
As for using propane, since you have an older rig, I'd recommend having the propane system tested for leaks, etc. It's not that expensive, is easy for them to do and will help put your mind at ease.
