One thing I forgot to mention was that the fridge is on a slide.
I took things apart yesterday. This was the only 12v circuit on the camper that had multiple wires connected. I was lucky to find that there was one wire going to each of the 3 slides, to power the 12v lights and such on each slide. I was able to isolate that the living room slide was causing the issue. I had open spots on the fuse board, so I connected each slide to their own fuse.
It turned out that the wire that fed the slide was pinched pretty badly. I had to take the entire underbelly skin off to get to the wire to replace.
It really isnt a good design to run the wires through the supports of the slides. The wheels inside of there are so close and can easily pinch the wires.
