Hi Roo
You will love your Roo. The Refrigerator worked great!
The fuses are 12v you can get from Walmart or similar. You want 7.5 ,10, 15, 20, 30 amp. The 7.5 is for the AC in the fuse panel beneath the refridge. You can buy a sample pack with a little pincher tool which is helpful in pulling the fuse. Next to impossible via finger.
The 7.5 is usually sold separately. You will want these just in case.
Inside your thermostat is a little glass fuse. Best to go to local RV shop and buy them. I could not find them at Walmart or auto stores.
Now crawl under your Roo and toward the very front on the side where the slide out is you need to locate a bright green rubber item. That is your fuse for the slide out. It is a 30 amp. Keep a bunch of these on hand. Better than hand cranking the slider in. I couldn't even find the hand crank nut.
Important!!!!! In Minnesota and south dakota fill your gas tank when you hit half a tank! I was getting 10 miles to a gal and would normally fill up at 1/4 tank but after finally finding a station and having 3 gallons left I started looking for gas at 1/2 tank. You can go what seemed like 60-80 miles before finding a gas station.
Let me know if you have any questions
