   2017 182G We are at the Grand Canyon on our first multi-day trip and the refrigerator stopped working. The GFCI was tripped. I reset it but now the refrigerator isn't running. The appropriate lights are lit on the panel (power, electric (shore power, and the temp adjustments). The breaker appears to be working. Any thoughts?
Thank you!

	Try running it on propane and see if that works. If it does you can eliminate most potential issues, plus your food won't spoil while you're sorting things out.

	Have you taken a multimeter or outlet tester outside to the power for the refrigerator to check that indeed it is getting 120V power? Are you plugged in to shore power? Are other plug-in appliances working? I second the recommendation about using propane it is probably the best option. Ours quit early on in the multi-week trip we are on, but in our case, everything died. We don't even have any lights.

	+1 +2 to above. Also check to see if any of the lights on the converter are on and will appear 'red.' This will indicate a bad fuse which will have to be replaced. If this is the case and you don't have any replacements bring the bad one in to any auto parts or hardware store; they will have what you need. I carry an assortment of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 amp fuses just in case this happens.
