Thank you. I will level it. The dealer told us to turn the battery off when at home I. The driveway and turn it on when we’re traveling and turned on at the campsite? I made sure the cord to the camper was plugged in and the ring tightened. It’s just weird when it was plugged in Thursday and it got cold and was cold yesterday and then this morning it was warm.
The suggestion to turn off the battery was assuming two things:
1. You aren't "using" it at home (i.e. fridge is off)
2. You aren't plugged in.
Turn the battery on unless your trailer is in storage. While you can use the 12V power from the 120V AC->12V DC converter when the 120V power cord is plugged in, it's possible the converter may need a battery in the circuit to smooth out the 12V. If the converter is making a noisy 12V supply with the battery off the fridge control board may be glitching out and shutting off.
Thank you. I turned the battery o yesterday afternoon and had refrigerator on and nothing this morning. Only thing we’ve been using at home is one of the little black cord adapters, I switched it out to a different one. I’ve seen the 30 to 15 pigtail type of cords, don’t know if these are any different or better? I also tried running it off propane this morning and it wouldn’t work. Just went to red light after about 30 seconds
By “nothing this morning” do you mean it didn’t get cold on AC power? Was the plug icon kit up? You need to wait several hours to see if it is getting cold. If the red light was not on solid and the plug icon was lit, try waiting awhile.
If you switched to gas and got the red light that means it didn’t light on gas. Did you first run a burner on the stove for 20-30 seconds to make sure the gas is on and purged? Even after doing that I usually have to power off and back on my fridge the first time starting on gas to finish purging the gas line to the fridge. You may have to try starting up on gas 2-3 times.
Many on here will insist that the puck style 15 to 30 adapters are terrible but I’ve been using one for 15 years without issue. If you run heaving electrical loads a lot (e.g. A/C) you might want one of the dog bone style with the little cord between them because it separates the connectors which allows for better heat dissipation at the connections.
