I'll try and answer your questions as best as I can.
@cavie, There's only the one switch and two lights. The switch is either AUTO, OFF or GAS. In AUTO, I assume it tries AC first, then GAS last. The only colors I've ever seen on those lights are green (ON) and yellow\orange (GAS ON or Flashing).
As for the AC power in the back panel, I haven't tried plugging a light into the outlet to test it. I will do so when we return. I did however flip the breakers. As for the 15 amp fuses, I only see one that has anything to do with the fridge. I assume that fuse is good since the lights turn off when I pull it. I errorenously assumed the fridge had AC power since the lights were on, not realizing the battery powered those lights.
@Lynnmor, If the cooling system has failed, what types of components could\would need to be changed?
@wing_zealot, I do have a battery and it appears to be in good working order since I had to boost my van with it on our last trip. ;-) (off the trailer of course)
@dougrainer, As part of my troubleshhoting, I did flip the breaker which is probably what stopped the flashing LP light when in AUTO mode. Makes perfect sense.
For the 5 amp fuse, I didn't have one, nor did I test the existing one. I'll bring one along on our next visit. If the 5 amp was bad, would I get an LP flame?
For the 120 fuse, is that the same fuse (15 amp) in the trailer's breaker panel, or does another fuse exist elsewhere?
As for your last question, I do have a flame on LP operation.
Thank you for all the replies.
Rick.
