    Fridge does not change to 12VDC

    I keep the HW296 plugged into shore power and the fridge works fine. When driving the fridge does not swap over to the 12VDC house batteries and when we arrive at the camp site the fridge is at ambient (hot) temperature. All the fuses on the main panel are OK. Checked them with a flash light...

    How does Dometic fridge reset button work?

    I took out my brand new trailer this weekend and the fridge quit when I plugged into shore power. It ran for 6 hours or so on 12v and propane. Then got to camp and plugged in and the fridge died. No lights on at all. Tried it back on 12v and still nothing. Checked all breakers, fuses (on...

    2 way fridge on inverter 120v

    I read some 2018 posts on running a fridge on inverters. Almost all said to stick to gas because of the draw on battery. I agree and usually do. But at elevations above 5000 ft the gas doesn’t work, so we’re stuck with generator which the wildlife frown on. Thinking about solar/inverter. Any...

The website shows a list of available options and I can't quite find what the differences may be between the standard and upgrade options for the heater and refrigerator. They both just say forced...

    Space above fridge

    I have a 2019 XLR 29HFS. A few months ago I saw a post from someone that had made some great modifications to their cabinets, specifically this space above the fridge. They knocked out this panel and made storage. I can’t find that post anymore. Anyone else done this?

    Funky Fridge on Propane

    My 6' two-way fridge has worked perfectly until now. We often boondock and run on propane. Today I pulled the plug on shore power, and the fridge started on propane. But it stinks, and it won't stop running. I believe it's a Dometic. I pulled and replaced fuses. Cycled the on/off switch...

    Fridge hard to light at higher elevation during during nighttime cold temps

    I’ve read a lot of the threads about fridges not working at higher elevation. This makes sense to me, generally. I’ve also read the Dometic manual recommending electric operation above 5,500 feet. This makes no sense to me as a regular boondocker at 8,000’ - 11,000’ who doesn’t want to be at an...

    Placement of tow-vehicle-powered inverter for fridge

    After looking at fridge propane performance (or rather lack thereof) I'm mulling adding an inverter that the tow vehicle will power to run the fridge on AC power while driving. I'm not planning on drawing power off of the 7-pin 12V constant power, wire gauge seems too small. Because of that...
